Central Setup Tutorial

1. Invite Central

Central's invite requests Administrator for straightforward setup. If you restrict its permissions later, tickets need Manage Channels and Manage Roles; Role Connections need Manage Roles; posting and logging need View Channels, Send Messages, Embed Links, and Read Message History. Keep Central's role above roles it grants.

2. Open The Dashboard

Log in with Discord, pick your server, and use the dashboard for setup. It has the larger editors, previews, role search, and channel search.

3. Configure Channels

Open Channels and choose where posts and logs should go. If a command says a channel is missing, check here first.

4. Configure Roles

Open Moderation to choose staff access. Keep Central's role above any role it needs to give or manage.

5. Choose a Module

Start with Moderation, Applications, Suggestions, or Tickets. Each module has its own settings and channel choices.

6. Save and Test

Save your settings, then run one command or send a panel to confirm Central can post in the chosen channel.

Command Reference

Setup

Moderation

Utilities

Moderation Setup

Set moderator and administrator roles first. Then open Moderation to choose an action log channel and turn commands on or off. Logging lets you pick which events to record and whether they share General Logs or use separate channels.

Warning actions

Automatic actions are off until enabled. Set up to five different warning counts, each with a timed mute (up to 28 days), kick, or permanent ban. Each action fires when a member reaches its count. Automatic bans also require the person issuing /warn to have ban permission.

Spam catcher

Choose a dedicated trap channel and a log channel, then enable and save it. Central attempts to kick anyone who posts there, including other bots. Use Post Warning Embed after saving so members know the consequence. Central needs Kick Members and must be above the member's highest role; failed attempts are recorded in the log channel.

Applications Setup

Build each application, save its questions and acceptance message, then link it to a panel channel. Review roles should have access to the review channel.

Suggestions Setup

Choose the channel where members submit ideas and the channel where staff reviews them. Save your settings, then post the plain-text instructions in the submission channel.

Tickets Setup

Turn on Tickets, then create up to three panels. Each panel can use its own channel, ticket category, help team, button, and welcome message. Save before sending a panel. To offer several choices in one Discord message, select at least two panels in Multi-Panel and choose buttons or a dropdown. Members can also use /open ticket. Ticket channel names support {user}, {type}, and {id}.

Choose one close mode: archive the channel in a closed-ticket category with a new name, or send a text transcript to the ticket log channel and then delete the channel. The log channel is required for transcripts and optional for archive activity. Set a reopen cooldown if needed. Help team members can reopen archived tickets, add members, and keep private notes.

Automation Setup

Use Role Connections for Role A to Role B grants. Welcome and Sticky modules handle recurring messages. Central needs Manage Roles and a higher role for automatic grants.
