# Create Discord Link Code

> Generate a code to pair a Discord account with an agent.

## Authentication

Requires JWT token or Platform API key via `Authorization: Bearer <token>` header.

<ParamField path="id" type="string" required>Agent UUID</ParamField>

## Example Request

```bash theme={null}
curl -X POST https://api.app.shinzo.ai/v1/agent/a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890/discord/link \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>"
```

## Example Response

```json theme={null}
{
  "code": "A1B2C3",
  "expires_at": "2025-01-20T10:10:00Z",
  "instructions": "Send '/link A1B2C3' as DM to Shinzo bot"
}
```

## How It Works

1. Call this endpoint to generate a 6-character link code.
2. The code expires after 10 minutes.
3. Send `/link <CODE>` as a direct message to the Shinzo Discord bot.
4. Once linked, you can send messages to your agent directly through Discord.
