Getting started
Add QREATE to your server and switch the lights on, in about two minutes.
QREATE replaces the stack of single-purpose bots most servers end up running: moderation, welcomes, levels, tickets, giveaways and more, configured in one place. No code, and no five bots to keep in step.
1. Add the bot
- 1Open the dashboard at qreate.cloud/dashboard and sign in with Discord.
- 2Click the server picker (top-left) โ Add a server.
- 3Select your target server and approve. QREATE asks only for the permissions its modules actually use, and the screen lists each one with the reason. It does not ask to be an administrator.
2. What each permission is for
Discord grants permissions once, when you add the bot, so QREATE asks for the full set its modules use up front. That is why a module works the moment you switch it on instead of failing and sending you back to re-invite:
- Manage Channels: required for Tickets, Temp Voice, and deleted channel restoration.
- Manage Roles: required for Welcome auto-roles, Leveling roles, and Verification gates.
- Manage Messages: required for purge commands, rules publishing, and board moderation.
- Move Members: required to transfer users in the Temp Voice helper.
- Embed Links & Attach Files: required for rich logs, cards, and welcome embeds.
3. Prefer to stay in Discord?
You do not have to open the dashboard to get going. Run /setup and it walks you through three steps: what permissions the bot is missing and what that costs you, a starter set of modules to switch on (Essentials, Community, or everything), and then a list of exactly which channels and roles are still unset. Presets only turn modules on, so running one can never undo settings you already made.
/config is the panel behind it: pick a module, set its channels and roles with normal Discord pickers. It covers welcome, auto roles, logging, moderation, verification, tickets, leveling, reaction roles, starboard, temporary voice, automations and scheduled messages. /module status shows what is on, and /help lists every command grouped by what it is for.
4. Enable your first modules
Get started by opening these three recommended modules from the sidebar pillars:
- Welcome & Goodbye: Greet newcomers in
#welcomeusing custom templates and dynamic variables like{user}and{memberCount}. - Moderation: Lock down a staff log channel, define who can warn, mute, or ban, and set up the
/lockdowncommand. - Leveling: Encourage chat activity by distributing XP, configuring spam cooldowns, and automatically granting level roles.
Instead of configuring individual modules manually, you can also use Build with Q to design and deploy your entire server setup in one shot using natural language chat.
5. The sidebar pillars
QREATE's dashboard is organized into seven distinct pillars, each representing a product department fronted by a Q-crew mascot:
- QREATE (pink): Creation & engagement tools like Events, Giveaways, Polls, QAssets, Reaction Roles, and Suggestions.
- QOMMUNITY (green): Growth & retention features like Achievements, Insights, Introductions, Leveling, Reputation, and Verification.
- QHUB (gold): Competitive surfaces like LFG and matchmaking Challenges.
- QARE (blue): Support & member intake including customized Forms & Applications and Tickets.
- QONTROL (red): Control surfaces like Moderation, Auto Roles, Automations, Logging, Custom Commands, and Temp Voice.
- QONNECT (cyan): Social media feeds and mirrors for Twitch, X / Twitter, and YouTube.
- QENTER (purple): Platform utilities including server Analytics.
5. How to get help
If you hit a snag or want to request a feature, we have two primary channels to support you:
- 1Q chat: Use the chat on the dashboard: Q is QREATE's built-in assistant, it knows every module, can diagnose setup problems, and files your bug reports.
- 2Past chats: Every conversation you have with Q is kept, and you can reopen one from the menu, on a computer or on your phone. A reopened conversation brings back the cards that turn produced, as a record: nothing on them can be applied again, because they were written against your server as it was that day. Ask again in a new conversation and Q proposes it fresh. You can open a past chat while an answer is still arriving, and the answer you were reading stops when you do.
- 3On your phone: The menu button sits at the top left of the conversation and stays there while you are in it, so getting anywhere is one tap and none of them take you out of what you were saying. It slides in from the side with the same Q Chat and Q Crew tiles you get on a computer. Q Chat lists where you are as well as where you can go: past chats, what runs by itself, the map of your server, your support tickets, the Overview, and your account. Q Crew lists the seven Q characters, and opening one shows the settings pages inside it. Closing the menu puts it back on Q Chat. Tickets can be searched and filtered by open or closed, and you can read the conversation inside each one, though replying still happens in Discord in the ticket channel itself. You can also pull from the left edge to bring the menu out, and it follows your finger. Your phone's own back gesture closes whatever is open instead of leaving the conversation, any panel goes away if you push it down, and a row in Past chats pulls left to reach its delete.
- 4Stopping an answer: While Q is answering, the send button becomes a stop button. Pressing it ends the answer there and stops the work behind it, and you keep the words that had already arrived, with Continue and Try again underneath.
- 5`/report` Command: Run this directly in Discord to submit bug reports or feedback. E.g.,
/report kind:bug details:Welcome image does not load.
