Missing Launch Button in your Discord Activity? Fix the Entry Point Command!

Got a fancy new Discord Activity but found that your Launch button went missing? We've got a patch for that!

This happens when your Discord App is too old to have it, or if you've accidentally deleted it when, say, cleaning up your Discord Bot's slash commands. We have different ways for you to choose, depending on what you're using.

Method 1: Node.js Script

We've open sourced a smol Node.js script that you can just run in your terminal. It'll automatically create the missing entry command for you if it doesn't exist. Download the script and run it like so:

node entry-fix.js <DISCORD_CLIENT_ID> <DISCORD_TOKEN>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Replace <DISCORD_CLIENT_ID> and <DISCORD_TOKEN> with the actual values in your Discord Developer Portal. Yes, you need a Discord Bot token to fix your Discord Activity.

This method is recommended for those with Node.js installed, even if making Discord Apps using other languages.

Method 2: @robojs/patch

Woah, you're using Robo.js? You're creating in luxury!

All you need to do is install @robojs/patch. That's it! It's a Robo Plugin, so it's integrated instantly.

npx robo add @robojs/patch
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

This method is recommended for those using Robo.js to build their Discord Activities. If you're not using Robo.js, we highly recommend you check it out!

Discord Activities are Fun!

Discord Activities are a fun way to engage with your community. They're like mini-games or interactive experiences that you can create and share with others. Robo.js is a powerful framework that makes building Discord Activities easy and fun. Discord Activities are often built using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript like any other web app, but they run inside Discord itself.

If you don't already have a Discord Activity, you can create one in seconds with Robo.js.

npx create-robo <projectName> -k activity
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Check out our tutorial to learn more.

Conclusion

Don't let a missing launch button ruin your day. Use one of the methods above to fix your Discord Activity and get back to building awesome experiences for your community.

You can join our Discord Server to chat with other developers, ask questions, and share your projects. We're a friendly bunch and always happy to help! Plus, our very own AI Robo, Sage, is there to assist you with any questions you may have.
