Getting Started
This guide walks you through adding ServerMate and getting your first features working.
Prerequisites
- A Discord server where you have Administrator (or enough rights to manage the bot and roles)
- A Discord account to sign in at servermate.gg (opens in a new tab)
Step 1: Invite the bot
- Open the ServerMate invite link (opens in a new tab)
- Choose your server and authorize the requested permissions
- In Discord, drag the ServerMate role above roles the bot must assign (moderator, verified, muted, etc.)
Step 2: Open the dashboard
- Go to servermate.gg (opens in a new tab) and sign in with Discord
- Select your server from My Servers
- You land on the server Overview tab
Step 3: Enable features
ServerMate uses three layers — see Help — how setup works for the full picture:
- Feature Centre — Turn features on (Moderation, Creator Alerts, etc.)
- Feature settings — Configure each feature (log channels, creators, linked game servers, …)
- Commands tab — Enable the slash commands you want in Discord
- Settings → Permissions — Choose who can use the dashboard and who can run each command
Order matters: a command will not work until its parent feature is enabled and the command is turned on.
Step 4: Set up logging (recommended)
For moderation and verification:
/setmodlog channel:#mod-logs
/setverifylog channel:#verification-logsRun these in Discord (after enabling the commands on the Commands tab), or configure channels from the feature panels in the dashboard.
Step 5: Test
Try /help in your server for a live command and feature list, or test moderation commands once Moderation is enabled:
/warn @user Breaking server rules
/kick @user Reason: SpammingNext steps
