Guilded Suggestion Bot Setup

This video provides a tutorial on how to set up a suggestion bot in a Guilded server (0:15). The bot automates the process of managing user suggestions, making it easier for staff to track and respond to ideas.

Here's a breakdown of the setup process:

• Create a Suggestion Channel (2:40):

  • The first step is to create a dedicated channel for suggestions within your Guilded server.

  • It is recommended to use a "list" type channel (2:55) because it allows for easy tracking and completion of suggestions.

  • Permissions can be set so that only staff members can mark suggestions as complete (3:04).

• Set up the Bot (3:11):

  • Access your server settings and navigate to the "Bots" section (3:19).

  • Add a new bot or select an existing one to configure (3:35).

• Configure the "List Item Created" Trigger (3:43):

  • This trigger tells the bot to react when a new suggestion is made.

  • Select "List item created" as the trigger (4:10).

  • Choose your newly created suggestion channel (4:17).

  • Set the trigger to apply to "any member or any role" (4:23) so that anyone in the server can leave a suggestion.

  • For the action, choose "Send a custom message" (4:51).

  • The message should be sent to your staff or mod-only channel (4:57).

  • Include the triggering user's name, a link to the suggestion, and a summary of the suggestion (5:18).

• Configure the "Toggle a List Item" Trigger (6:18):

  • This trigger allows the bot to notify staff when a suggestion has been addressed or closed out.

  • Select "Toggle a list item" as the trigger (6:36).

  • Ensure the same suggestion channel is selected (6:42).

  • Set the trigger to be updated by the mod team (7:03).

  • For the action, again choose "Send a custom message" (7:23).

  • The message should inform who closed out the suggestion and optionally include a link back to it (7:35).

Once set up, the bot will notify staff when new suggestions are made and when suggestions are closed out, helping to streamline the feedback process (8:08).
