Hosted setup (recommended)
- Add ServerDesk — open the invite link and add the bot to your server (needs Manage Server). Your 7-day free trial starts then. You do not create a Discord app yourself.
- Configure — in your server, run:
/setup welcome_channel:#welcome staff_channel:#staff-help staff_role:@Staff - Try
/faqand/ask How do I access Week 1?. - Your FAQ — email your questions and answers plus your server ID to serverdesk.godinrules@gmail.com. We load them for you, usually the same day.
- Keep it — after 7 days, pay $19/mo from
/helpinside your server so payment links to it automatically. A plain Stripe checkout also works if you email us your server ID.
What each command does
/setup— welcome channel, staff channel, staff role, optional welcome text/faq— answers from your FAQ knowledge base/ask— private staff thread (or staff channel) for real questions
Permissions the invite will request
When you approve the instant invite link, Discord may ask for: View Channels, Send Messages, Embed Links, Create Public/Private Threads, Send Messages in Threads. Manage Threads is optional. Mention Everyone is not required.
