For admins:
When the bot joins the guild, it will work immediately. However, to set up the voice channel updates, you will need to run .setup
. This is the setup command for voice channels. From here, the bot explains what to do on the embeds. However, there is a .gif below showcasing the command.
What information we store:
To ensure the bot runs smoothly, we store:
- Your guild ID
- The IDs of channels you have opted into voice channel updates for
- Your user ID if you have opted into the newsletter (and the opt in date of this)
- Whether your guild has set up voice channels or not
When you opt out of the newsletter:
Your document in our database is immediately deleted and the information stored is removed.
Why we need the permissions selected in our invite link:
- Manage Channels
This is to ensure we can rename voice channels. If you are never going to opt into voice channel renaming, you may remove this permission.
- Read Messages
This is so the bot can pick up on commands in channels.
- Embed Links
This is so the bot can send links and have the embed appear:
If you wish to remove this permission, you can.
- Read Message History
This is so the bot can grab messages if necessary from channels. It is required for deleting messages (when running the setup command etc.) and other methods in the bot.
- Use External Emojis
This is so, when we decide to implement custom emojis in our embeds, the emojis are able to be displayed.
- Send Messages
This is the bot can respond to commands.
- Manage Messages

.
- Attach Files
