Setup Command

This should be the first command you run when you invite the bot. /setup

  • Why two channels

    • Sales channel: internal purchase alerts with buyer mention. Keep it private to staff.

    • Alerts channel: bot announcements/updates for your team. Also private.

  • Permissions the bot needs

    • Manage Roles (to grant/remove product roles)

    • Send Messages, Embed Links

    • Read Messages/View Channels in your chosen Sales/Alerts channels

    • If you post buy buttons in specific channels, ensure it can send/embeds there too.

  • Run /setup (step-by-step)

    1. In a staff-only channel, run /setup.

    2. Pick the Sales channel (text or announcement).

    3. Pick the Alerts channel (text or announcement).

    4. Confirm the embed shows both selections.

  • Channel tips

    • Use private channels so buyer info stays internal.

    • Prefer text channels for alerts; announcements work too.

    • Don’t delete or archive these channels; rerun /setup if you move them.

  • Common fixes

    • Bot can’t post: add it to the channel, grant Send Messages + Embed Links.

    • Missing role grants: ensure Manage Roles is enabled and the bot’s role is above the roles it assigns.

    • Wrong channel type: /setup only accepts text or announcement channels.

    • Changed your mind: rerun /setup anytime to update channels.
