Custom Bot

Using a Custom Bot

Do you have a special community bot or a server theme to follow? You can configure a custom bot to post starboard messages, while the magic of Starboard works in the background.

Note

Using a custom bot requires your server to have Starboard Premium .

Things to note

• The custom bot is only used for posting and editing starboard messages.

  • Everything else (listening for reactions, commands, auto-star, reward roles, etc) is still handled by Starboard itself.
  • Consequently, this means you still need to have Starboard in your server.

• All custom bot tokens are stored encrypted and will not be visible to anyone (including you).

1. Create a new application on Discord's Developer Portal .

   

2. Invite the bot to your server.

   Hint

   Copy your bot’s application ID and paste it below to generate the recommended invite link.

3. Go to the bot tab of your newly created application and copy its token (you may need to reset it first).

   

4. Set your custom bot’s token.

   /custom-bot set token MTM0ODQyNz...

Tip

You can freely change your bot’s username and avatar at any time on Discord's Developer Portal .

And that’s it! Starboard messages will now be posted by your custom bot.
