General settings
The settings that apply to the whole bot on your server: roles for new members, and command replies that only the member who ran the command sees.
Dashboard → General, in the Settings group of the sidebar, holds the settings that apply to InviteCount on your whole server.
| Setting | What it does | Free | Premium |
|---|---|---|---|
| Roles for new members | Roles given to every member who joins. See Auto roles. | 3 | 50 |
| Ephemeral replies | The bot's answers to commands are seen only by the member who ran the command. See below. | ✓ | ✓ |
Change a setting, then click Save changes. It applies to the next join or the next command.
Ephemeral replies#
By default, InviteCount answers most commands in the channel where they were used, for everyone to see. Turn on Ephemeral replies (Dashboard → General, section Command replies), and every answer of the bot to a slash command or to a member menu app (right-click a member → Apps) is shown only to the member who ran it, with Discord's Only you can see this note. The channel stays clean, and each member's results stay their own.
It is free and off by default.
What becomes ephemeral:
- the answers, including the ones the bot takes a moment to prepare, and every page of a paged answer;
- the error messages, missing permissions and cooldowns included;
- the confirmations asked before a big change, such as
/reset all invites; - the follow-up messages of a command.
The buttons of an ephemeral answer keep working for the member who sees it: pages, confirmations and the like.
What doesn't change: everything the bot posts on its own, or in a channel chosen for it, stays public:
- join and leave messages, level-up and reward announcements;
- giveaways, events, ticket panels and ticket channels, the verification panel;
- pinned leaderboards and pinned statistics, logs, alerts and raid messages;
- the messages a command posts in another channel, for example the panel of
/verification panel #channelor a giveaway started with/giveaway start. Only the command's own confirmation becomes ephemeral.
A command whose purpose is to post a public message in the channel where it is used still posts it there; its own confirmation becomes ephemeral.
Permissions#
Changing these settings needs the Manage Server permission, like every page of the dashboard. Auto roles need Manage Roles, with the bot's role above them.
