Automating an invite to a discord channel

I’m working on a membership site where a private Discord channel is part of the required feature set. I wanted to be able to generate a one time invite code for each user. This was surprisingly challenging.

The first step is registering a Discord server…this can be done from within the Discord app.

The second is creating a discord bot, assigning permissions, and adding the bot to the server. DiscordPY had a great step by step guid for this on their docs page: https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/discord.html

Finally, I used discord.js to create a single method call for this interaction:

const Discord = require('discord.js');
const client = new Discord.Client();
const guildId = 'GUILD_ID_FROM_URL'; //First param from discord web
const channelId = 'CHANNEL_ID_FROM_URL'; //Second param from discord web

const getInviteLink = async ()=>{
  const p = new Promise((resolve, reject)=>{
    client.on('ready', async () => {
      try {
       const guild = await client.guilds.fetch(guildId);
       const channel = await guild.channels.cache.get(channelId);
