Create a channel from any channel picker
Make a new Discord or website chat channel straight from a channel picker, pick who can see and use it role by role, and the bot makes it for you.
On this page
You don't have to make a channel in Discord first and then come back to pick it. Every channel picker in your dashboard has + Create a new channel… at the top of its list. Pick it, fill in the window, and the new channel is picked for you.
Make a Discord channel#
Voice channel lists (like the member counters) make a voice channel; the rest make a text channel.
Discord writes text channel names in lower case with dashes instead of spaces.
Everyone can read and write, Everyone can read only (good for logs and announcements) or Private (only the roles you add can see it).
Pick a role from your Discord server, then tick View channel, Send messages, Manage messages, Manage channel and the rest. Voice channels have Connect, Speak, Video, Mute members and Move members.
The bot makes it in Discord, usually within a few seconds, and picks it. Save the page to use it.
How the ticks work:
- @everyone: ticked is allowed. An everyday permission (view, send, reactions, files and so on) left unticked is turned off for everyone in this channel.
- Other roles: ticked is allowed. Unticked keeps whatever the role has server-wide, so a moderator role keeps its powers unless you change them in Discord.
- Staff permissions (Manage messages, Manage channel, Mention @everyone, Mute and Move members) are only ever given, never taken from @everyone, so moderators who have them server-wide keep them.
The bot always keeps access to the channels it makes, so it can post its messages there.
You can change any of this in Discord: right-click the channel, Edit Channel › Permissions.
Make a website chat channel#
The channel pickers for your website chat (Edit server › Website chat) have the same option if your community can have its own channels (an FSG Supporter tier). Pick who can View and Send, role by role, using your community's chat roles. It's ready at once. Change it later in your community's chat settings.
