Creating a Custom Command

Starting with our Bot could be a nightmare without any guidelines.

But not with this guide! We will show, you what each setting does, and how to use it!

Create a new command

Before we start working on our command, we have to create one.

1. Lets go where all commands are born, the dashboard!

2. Select the desired server to work in

3. Choose the Custom Command Section

4. Press the Create Button

Tour

On your first visit you will be greeted with a dashboard tour! We highly suggest NOT skipping through it... It will save you a lot of trouble in the future!

Type

A very first part of every command is it's type, an action which will activate your command. It can be selected using this dropdown menu:

Trigger Type	Triggers when
Word	Someone sends a message
Slash Commands	Someone uses bot's slash command
On Reaction	A message receives a reaction
On Join/Leave	Someone joins or leaves the server
Role add/remove	Someone recieves or Loses a role
Button	Clicks a bot's button
Select Menu	Submits their choice in a menu
Modal	Submits a modal (form)
Timed or Interval	Repeated or Scheduled Execution
Voice	Connects to or Disconnects from a VC
Channel Create/Delete	A channel is created/deleted
Library	Create A library

As shown above, our bot supports a lot of events! And we're constantly adding more!

Hint

You can proceed to a guide on specific trigger by clicking the green name of it.

Trigger

Command type is sometimes not enough to make your command working perfectly. Sometimes you need the action to meet some conditions, for example: a message should be a certain !ping to activate your ping command. This field can be specified using this input field:

TIP

The value expected greatly depends on the type of your command. We recommend checking documentation of your desired type to know what you can put in this field.

Shh... the green book icon will lead you there

Code

Now as you know how to make a triggered, we can move on to the real meat of a custom command, the code. Code is simply what the bot will do upon triggering. It can be set using this field:

What should I put there?

The simplest code is just a text which gets sent after triggering. But typing in a plain text is of course not all you can do with CC. Inside the code field you can use various functions, which you can find under Functions tab in this documentation, or in docs built-in the dashboard.

Examples

You can find some examples of CC in action in the Tutorials & Examples tab.

Save

Remember to always click the save button after making changes to your command!

Other

Custom Commands allows you to edit a bunch of options, which affect the way your command works. Here's a short explanation of all of them:

Setting	Description	Appearance in dashboard
Minimum permissions	Permissions user needs to execute the command
Ignored roles	Roles which are prohibitted from accessing this command
Run only in	Channels where using this command is possible
Channel Used	Channel where the output will appear
Cloneable code	If checked, the command is accessible to anyone by the token
Name field	Name of your command, used for dashboard organization

Templates

You do not always have to code every single command by yourself. From the dashboard you get access to a great deal of templates, that can be effortlessly imported and setup easily.
