Few annoying things:

  - I really want Zapier integration but I don't want to ask you for it
  - Needing to join discord to get an invite code
  - I need to auth and give your bot all my permissions before I know what it can do

Hey, thanks for the feedback!

Re: the invite code, we actually put it in the post text above, it’s LAUNCHHN but I totally see how it wasn’t clear.

And re: the permissions, great point. We should add a bit more context on the bot to explain it’s functionality in the onboarding process. Here’s more context on how the bot creates automated flows in Discord: https://www.loom.com/share/67334ccee36f417da62caa2ad8fdcbd8
