How to Set Up Discord Forum Integration with the BetaHub Bot

In short: BetaHub’s forum integration turns each new thread in a Discord forum channel into a bug report in BetaHub. Comments sync both ways. Screenshots, videos and logs posted in the thread are added to the report, and status changes made in the dashboard are posted to the thread. Setup takes three steps: invite the bot, create a forum channel, and link it under /info → Configure → Bug Channels.

Setting up bug reporting directly from Discord just got way easier. With BetaHub’s Forum Channel Integration, your community can submit detailed bug reports without ever leaving the server—and your dev team gets clean, structured issues automatically.

What Mechanics Are Integrated?

BetaHub’s Discord forum integration is more than just a way to collect bug reports. Here’s what it enables:

• Automatic Bug Thread Detection: The bot monitors your chosen forum channel and automatically detects new bug report threads, turning them into actionable issues.
• Quality Control: Each report is validated against minimum description length requirements. Bugs are created with the default status (Open), and BetaHub’s AI predicts their priority. Both can be changed later in the BetaHub dashboard.
• Attachment Handling: Users can add screenshots, videos, or logs to their bug threads. The bot acknowledges these and ensures all media is linked to the issue.
• Status Syncing: When a bug’s status changes on the BetaHub dashboard (e.g., from “Open” to “In Progress”), the update is reflected in Discord, keeping reporters in the loop.
• Two-Way Communication: Developers can comment on issues from the dashboard, and their replies are posted back into the Discord thread, including mentions.
• Sync Indicators: Optionally, the bot adds a 👀 reaction to thread replies it syncs to BetaHub. It’s off by default; turn it on with /set eyes_reaction true.
• Duplicate Detection: BetaHub’s AI-powered similarity detection helps consolidate duplicate reports across all channels, so your team isn’t overwhelmed by repeated issues.
• Media & Feedback Loop: The integration supports a seamless feedback loop, encouraging users to provide rich context and helping devs respond quickly.
