Custom commands

Custom commands let members run server-specific text commands that reply with configured messages or send messages to another channel.

Create a command

1. Open Administration > Custom commands.
2. Create a new command.
3. Enter a command name. April automatically normalizes unsupported characters.
4. Add a short description for the public command list.
5. Add aliases if members should be able to use more than one trigger.
6. Add one or more actions.
7. Configure role and channel permissions.
8. Save and test using the current server prefix.

Actions

• Reply with message replies where the command was used. You can also make the reply private when the action supports it.
• Send message posts to a selected channel. This action requires a channel.

Each action can include Discord message content, embeds, and supported formatting variables. Use random messages when you want April to pick one response from a list.

Prefix and visibility

Custom commands use the server prefix shown in the dashboard. You can hide a command from the public list while keeping it usable by members who know the trigger.
