4. Select your server, and click Continue. Do not change the permissions selected for you. These are the minimum permissions required for the bot to function properly.

5. Click "Authorize". Now let's do the Server Setup!

Setting up the Bot

Do not skip this section. The bot will not run if not configured. It will not filter or kick anyone until you set it up.

Some of the commands here must be ran by the owner of the Discord Server.

I'll walk you through setting up the bot on your server. If you haven't read Getting Premium I'd suggest you to read it since it is required for the bot to work on your server, and to be able to do some of the commands we will use in this next section.

Admin Roles

The bot needs to know who are the admins allowed to interact with it. You will need to have an admin role in your server (a role that designates who is an admin and who is not). To set this up you'll need to use the following slash command:

Only the owner of the guild can run this command

/add_admin_role role: @Admins

Once used the bot will reply with:

This command is ESSENTIAL. It not only sets your admin roles, but it also registers your server with our bot. Without this command we do not save your server guild in our Database.

Once you've setup the admin roles you can set up the other roles used by the bot.

Verification Role

This role is given to users who are in verification. You should set your Server in such a way that anyone with this role cannot see or do anything in the server except to see the Verification Channel.

To set it up use:

Only Admins can use this command

/add_role role: @Verification role-type: Verification

Of course you can name the verification role anything you'd like, just make sure to pass that in role argument of the command.

Verified Role

We use this role to mark who has successfully verified. It is automatically given to any user who rejoins and has verified.

Only Admins can use this command

/add_role role: @Verified role-type: IsVerified

Moderator Role

You can set up this role in order to use moderation commands built-in with Bouncer.

Only Admins can use this command

/add_role role: @Moderator role-type: Moderator

Verification Channel

This command must be run to support users who have their DMs closed! It's very important.

Before running this command you should make sure that only people with the Verified role can see this channel.

Only Admins can use this command

/set_verification_channel verification-channel:#verification

Logging Channel

This channel is used by Bouncer to log what happens with Bouncer. It's a way to audit what happens, who gets verified successfully and who doesn't. Friendly tip: use Yagpdb as well in your server to keep logs of the mods actions. We are not a moderation bot so we can freely recommend a great moderation bot.

/set_logs_channel logs-channel:#logs

Help Channel

This channel is used by Bouncer to post help requests from any user who uses our web portal. When people verify we offer a very nice contact form for people to use if they need help:

This feature shows the user a chat window. Our service will automatically route the message from the website to your Help Channel in real time. Your mods/admins can then reply to the user by simply sending messages in the thread created.

If you want to avoid sending something, use the prefix b! before any message. Bouncer will then ignore the message, and the user will not receive it.

See Verification Help Commands for more information.

In order to set up the channel use:

/set_help_channel help-channel:#help

Set Up Premium

Premium Slots

When you get Premium, you get a predetermined amount of Premium slots you can use with the bot. It's usually two for now since we have an initial launch sale but this number can change if you buy outside of the sale.

You can see how many premium slots you have available by doing the command:

/premium_slots_available 

Only you can see the result of this command.

You must use one of the slots on the server you want to enable Bouncer:

/use_premium_slot 

Use the command above in the server of your choice to enable Premium in that server.

Enable the bot

Bouncer will not work unless you enable the features you want to use!

At this point you have done all the required setup. And Bouncer is ready to get to work. It just needs you to enable the features you'd like to use. For more information see Feature Commands

Use the command to turn on a feature.

/toggle_feature feature:{FeautureName} on:True

Or this command to turn it off.

/toggle_feature feature:{FeautureName} on:False
