Bot seemingly not listening on room in Discord

(Appreciate Discord is still showing as WIP, so if this is something that is still being worked on, please feel free to close this issue)

What did you do?

Followed https://target.github.io/flottbot-docs/basics/discord/ to setup bot and got it added to a test server.

It shows up as online, and I can directly interact with the bot and it responds to rules (such as the hello.yml one in the example docs)

However, the bot does not seem to respond to triggers on the room it is sitting in. For example, if I use the trigger hello in a DM, it responds happily. But if I do it in the room, it doesn’t.

I also added the announce.yml example (https://github.com/target/flottbot/blob/master/config-example/rules/announce.yml) and when I run it on a DM, I see this on the bot’s logs:

time="2019-12-27T11:12:23Z" level=debug msg="Found rule match 'announce' for input 'announce test'"
time="2019-12-27T11:12:23Z" level=debug msg="Room 'general' does not exist"
time="2019-12-27T11:12:23Z" level=error msg="Could not find any of the rooms specified in 'output_to_rooms' while 'direct_message_only' is set to false. Please check rule 'announce'"

Trying different variations (e.g. ‘#general’, ‘general’, “general”) didn’t help. It’s like the bot can’t see the channel, even though it is inside the server.

What did you expect to happen?

The bot should respond to triggers on the channel, unless otherwise excluded

What happened instead?

The bot did not listen to triggers on the channel
