  discord:
    channel_id: "" # No default (required)
    bot_token: "" # No default (required)
    cache: "" # No default (required)
    cache_key: last_message_id

This input works by authenticating as a bot using token based authentication. The ID of the newest message consumed and acked is stored in a cache in order to perform a backfill of unread messages each time the input is initialised. Ideally this cache should be persisted across restarts.
