Discord may not be used as much in corporate communications as Teams or Slack, but when it comes to automating it with a bot, you can certainly do so with PowerShell.

If you hear 'chat bot' and 'PowerShell', you're probably thinking PoshBot, which is great, but I don't like the requirement of running a service for my bot to work. I like to save some money and run it in an Azure Function, which is possible using Discord's slash commands. In fact, my bot costs me just a few cents a month to run.

In this session, we'll walk through the serverless, slash-command based bot architecture so we fully understand the requirements. Then we'll dive right into how to create commands in your Discord server leveraging the Discord API (and my Discord PowerShell module) and then pairing those commands with matching calls in your Azure Function.
