Quickly Get Started With Guilded Bots

This video provides a quick primer on setting up and managing bots within a Guilded server.

The video covers the following:

• What are bots? Bots automate processes on your server, making tasks easier, such as giving XP or setting up roles for new subscribers (0:14). Guilded bots can combine multiple functions into one bot, unlike Discord, where separate bots are often needed for different tasks (2:02).

• Finding existing bots: Guilded servers automatically start with two built-in bots:

  • Howdy Bot: Greets new members (1:34).

  • XP Bot: Awards XP to members for their involvement in the community (1:42).

• Creating a new bot: The process involves going to server settings, clicking "Create a bot," naming it, and then setting up "flows" using an "if this, then that" logic (2:31).

• Setting up bot triggers and actions: The video demonstrates how to set a trigger (e.g., when a forum topic is created (4:27)) and then an action (e.g., sending a custom message to a channel (5:07)).

• Consolidating bots: The speaker shows how to turn off the default bots and add their functions (like notifying about a Twitch stream going online (8:25)) to a single custom bot, avoiding the need for multiple bots (7:42). The bot can automatically announce when a streamer goes live on Twitch, including a link to their stream (10:11).
