The configuration command allows administrators and specific roles to create, edit, and delete applications. It also allows members to set up channels for logging, various permissions, bot settings, and much more.
To start, type /config in your server. You must have the administrator permission, or an application editing role in order to run this command. If you have just added the bot and/or have not created any applications, the bot will DM you with this message:
/config will let you see the menu below. If you've previously created an application, you will also see this menu.
When you select the first option, application settings, you will get a menu that looks like this:
When you select this option, the bot will follow up with questions and steps on setting up your new application. After following each step, you'll be able to create another application, along with your current one(s).
Selecting this option will bring up yet another menu. The bot may ask for which application you would like to edit if you have more than one application set up.
Selecting this option will allow you to delete an application. Another menu may appear asking which application you would like to delete if you have more than one application.
This option allows you to close opened applications, or open closed applications. Closing an application means that members can no longer apply for a position. You can reopen it any time if you'd to let people apply.
Go back to the main menu.
The second menu option allows you to set various permissions for different users or roles. You can also set channels to log actions, post reviewed applications, and more.
This menu item allows you to blacklist or whitelist roles. Anyone with a blacklisted role in their roles will not be able to apply. This is useful for stopping users submitting spam applications.
Set a channel to log all application related actions. This means that a message will be sent here every time someone does anything, like creating an application, editing an application, changing a prefix, etc.
When entering the name of a channel, you must enter the exact name, without #, and without linking the channel. This means that if you have a channel called #appbot-logs, you would type appbot-logs. Not #appbot-logs or a link to the channel, but appbot-logs as text by itself.
An archives channel means that whenever an application has been accepted or denied, a copy of the reviewed application will be sent to the channel.
When entering the name of a channel, you must enter the exact name, without #, and without linking the channel. This means that if you have a channel called #archived-apps, you would type archived-apps. Not #archived-apps or a link to the channel, but archived-apps as text by itself.
Adding an app editing role would allow users without the administrator permission to run the /config command, allowing them to configure the bot, applications, and more. Note that these users can also give themselves permission to review members.
Type the name of an app editing role you would like to add or remove. If you have not set any application editing roles, this message would say "(None set)". Otherwise, a list of app editing roles would be in the message. Entering a role that's on the list will automatically remove it. Otherwise, the bot will add the role to the list.
Adding an app editing role would allow users without the administrator permission to run the /review command, without actually having the administrator permission. This does not give the user permissions to configure applications.
Type the name of an app reviewing role you would like to add or remove. If you have not set any application reviewing roles, this message would say "(None set)". Otherwise, a list of app reviewing roles would be in the message. Entering a role that's on the list will automatically remove it. Otherwise, the bot will add the role to the list.
Go back to the main menu.
This bot allows you to set more than one custom prefix for your bot. Bot mention is a required prefix, but you can remove / and add your own custom prefix(es).
Type a prefix that you would like to add or remove. Entering a prefix that's on the list will automatically remove it. Otherwise, the bot will add the role to the list.
By default, the bot DMs you the config menu and review menu. That means that you will receive DMs from the bot instead of getting the response from the same channel as the bot. By selecting this menu option, the bot will from now on send menus to the same channel if the bot is currently DMing you, or start to DM you if you're in the same channel where you ran /config (Hence, toggle channel or DM).
Go back to the main menu.
Reset the bot. This means that all your settings will be destroyed. This can also fix any potential bugs that may have occured with AppBot for your server. This is a dangerous action.
Exit the configuration Menu.
