FAQ

Welcome to our FAQ dedicated to DraftBot, where you can find all the questions you might have!
If some answers to your questions remain unknown, feel free to come and ask us on the DraftBot Support.

  • What is DraftBot?

    DraftBot is a multipurpose Discord bot. It gathers in a single bot the features a server needs: welcome messages, automatic roles and reaction roles, levels, economy, moderation and auto-moderation, tickets, giveaways, birthdays, social notifications, recurring messages and temporary voice channels.

    These features form an ecosystem: levels can grant roles, the shop can sell experience, a giveaway can reward server money. Everything is configured from the web panel or directly in Discord with the /config command.

  • Is DraftBot free?

    Yes. Every feature can be used for free, with no time limit.

    The Premium subscription, from 3.99 € per month for 3 servers, raises some limits, such as the number of giveaways or reminders running at the same time, and unlocks customisations: voice experience, maximum level, welcome image, economy currency, log colours. The offers are detailed on the Premium page.

  • How do I add DraftBot to my Discord server?

    Click the invite button on the website, pick your server and accept the requested permissions. You need the Manage Server permission on that server.

    Once DraftBot has joined, place its role above the roles it will have to assign, then configure the features with the /config command or from the web panel. The Installation page of the documentation details each step.

  • How do I configure DraftBot?

    Two ways, your choice: the /config command directly in Discord, or the web panel available from the Dashboard button on the website after signing in with your Discord account.

    The panel lets you manage every module from a browser, with a preview of messages and embeds. Both methods edit the same configuration.

  • Is DraftBot available in English?

    Yes. DraftBot is a French bot, fully available in English as well: commands, messages, web panel and documentation. The language is chosen server by server from the settings.

  • How do I set up a levels and experience system?

    Enable the Levels module from /config or the panel. Members then earn experience with each message, and in voice channels on Premium servers. You adjust the gains, ignored channels and roles, multipliers and the progression curve.

    You can attach rewards to given levels, such as permanent or temporary roles, and announce level-ups in a channel. If your server used MEE6, your members' progress can be imported in one click.

  • How do I create an economy with a shop?

    Enable the Economy module: members earn server money by taking part, claim a daily amount with /daily and check their balance with /money.

    Then create one or more shops where they spend that money: roles, temporary roles, experience, items or custom articles. The /topmoney leaderboard and, on Premium servers, a real-time leaderboard in a channel complete the system.

  • How do I set up support tickets?

    In /config, Tickets section, choose a reception channel then an opening message: a button for a single reason, or a selector to offer several reasons with their emojis.

    Each ticket opens a private space between the member and your team. Ticket moderators can open a ticket for a member, add or remove someone from it, and the /ticket command stays available to members.

  • How do I automatically moderate spam, insults and links?

    The Auto-moderation module detects the infractions you enable: forbidden vocabulary, Discord invites, external links, excessive capitals or emojis, forbidden or excessive mentions, message spam and forbidden markdown. Each module can ignore channels and roles.

    Automatic sanctions then apply an action, from a warning to a ban, when a member reaches a number of infractions over a given period. Some modules block the message before it is sent thanks to Discord AutoMod.

  • What should I do when I have a problem with DraftBot?

    Start by checking DraftBot's permissions on the server and in the channel concerned: most blockages come from a role placed too low or a missing permission. The /help command details each command.

    If the problem persists, join the DraftBot support Discord server and open a post in the support channel describing what you did and what happened. The team and the community answer there.

  • How can I support or contribute to DraftBot?

    Suggest your ideas with the /suggest command, report bugs on the support server, help other members or improve the documentation, which is open to contributions.

    You can also vote for DraftBot on Top.gg, subscribe to Premium or simply talk about DraftBot around you. The most committed members are offered to test versions in development.
