Adding the Rosterr bot to Discord

The Rosterr bot posts sessions, time off and more in your server, DMs your staff, and answers slash commands. Each Discord server can be connected to one workspace.

Adding the bot

In Rosterr, go to Admin centre > Discord bot and choose to add the bot.
Discord asks which server to add it to. You need the Manage Server permission there.
Back in Rosterr, pick a channel for each kind of post. Leave one empty to not post it.

Settings

Sessions in the Events list: sessions also appear in your server's Events.
Reminders: the host, co-host and helpers get a DM a set number of minutes before a session. Leave it empty for no reminders.
Colour: posts and DMs carry your workspace's name, logo and colour.
Bloxlink and RoVer: with a key from either, the bot also recognises people who verified with them, even if they never linked Discord in Rosterr.
Your own words (Pro): write your own title for each kind of post. Words in curly brackets are filled in.

Testing the connection

Choose Test on the Discord bot page. It checks each part and says in plain words what's wrong, for example:

"The bot is not in your server any more": someone removed it. Add it again.
"Slash commands are not set up": choose Set up commands again.
"In #channel the bot cannot…": change that channel's permissions in Discord so the bot can see it and post.

Disconnecting

Disconnecting stops posts and removes the bot's settings in Rosterr. Remove the bot from your server in Discord as well.

Discord webhooks

If you'd rather not add a bot, Admin centre > Discord webhooks can post to a channel through a webhook instead, including game chat and admin command logs from the Rosterr module.
