Kanin's BotBaseWhat the Bot Can Do
The bot is a multipurpose Discord bot with a web dashboard. It covers moderation, logging, levels, welcome messages, birthdays, analytics, forms, feeds and automated rules. Each feature is a module that you turn on or off per server, so your members only see what you enable.
How it works
You use the bot in two places:
- In Discord, members and staff run slash commands (type
/in a channel). The bot also acts on its own: it posts welcome messages, logs events, gives out level roles and runs your automation rules. - In the dashboard, a website, server managers configure every module without typing commands: pick channels and roles, design messages, review form responses and read the staff logs.
Anyone with the Manage Server permission in a server can open that server's dashboard. Members who only use commands never need to log in, but they can use the dashboard for their own account and privacy settings, public forms and the public leaderboard.
The dashboard home of a server shows its activity at a glance: messages, contributors, member growth, the most active members and channels, and voice activity.
Features by sidebar group
The dashboard sidebar groups the modules the same way this list does. Modules only appear when they are installed on this bot.
Media
The first five are tools every server has: they are not modules, so they have no on/off switch. Forms is a module that lives in this group.
| Page | What it is for |
|---|---|
| Bot Profile | Give the bot its own avatar, banner, nickname and bio in your server. See Bot Profile. |
| Message Builder | Design, send and edit rich messages, and save them as templates. See Message Builder. |
| Image Builder | Design images such as the welcome card. See Image Builder. |
| Templates | Customize every message the bot sends, grouped into template packs. See Templates and Packs. |
| Media | Upload and organize the images your messages and profiles use. See Media Library. |

Moderation
| Module | What it does |

| Automations | Rules that react to events: when something happens and conditions match, run actions. See Automations. |

A few general commands, such as /ping, are always available and have no dashboard page. See Utility.
Which modules start on
Analytics, Moderation, Automations and Forms are on by default in a new server. Every other module starts off until you turn it on with the switch at the top of its page. In the sidebar, a green dot next to a module means it is on (Forms, in the Media group, has no dot); see the dashboard tour.
Next steps
- Add the bot to your server.

Where to get help
- Search these docs with Ctrl+K (or Cmd+K on a Mac).
- Each module has its own pages under Modules in the docs sidebar.
- When the bot's operator has set up a support server, the docs sidebar shows a Get Support button.
- Your own server's staff can answer questions about how your server uses the bot.
