Enter the base URL you will be hosting your instance of Enotify's website on, followed by the /discord/callback route. In this example, we are using https://example.com as our base URL, so we will add the https://example.com/discord/callback redirect URI. Once you have entered the correct redirect URI, press Save Changes to confirm.
