Let Logs Bot create private log channels for you, one per log type.

What it does

For each log category you pick, Logs Bot creates a Discord category (for example Member Logs) with one text channel per log type inside it, and turns each of those logs on. Picking every category creates 12 categories and 65 channels.

You need the Manage Server permission, and Logs Bot needs Manage Channels.

Step by step

  1. Choose whether channel names get an emoji

    Select Yes or No. With No, you skip straight to picking categories.

  2. Pick the emoji

    📁 Folder, 🔧 Wrench, or Custom Emoji to type your own. Use a standard emoji; if Logs Bot can’t read what you typed, it uses 📁.

  3. Pick a separator

    This decides how the emoji sits next to the name. See the examples below.

  4. Pick your categories

    Select as many as you want from the menu. Each option shows how many log types it contains.

  5. Check the summary and confirm

    You see the example channel name and how many channels will be created. Select Confirm & Create, or go back with Change Categories or Change Appearance. Cancel stops without creating anything.

A progress bar shows each channel as it’s created. When it finishes you get a summary, including any channels that couldn’t be created.

Channel name styles

Names come from the log type: lower case, spaces become dashes, & becomes and, and -logs is added at the end. With the 📁 emoji, Message Sent looks like this:

StyleChannel name
No emojimessage-sent-logs
Parentheses(📁)message-sent-logs
Pipe📁┊message-sent-logs
Bullet📁・message-sent-logs
None (emoji only)📁-message-sent-logs

Who can see the new channels

The categories and channels are hidden from @everyone. Only Logs Bot and roles with the Administrator permission can see them.

Good to know

  • Only the person who ran /setup can use its buttons and menus.
  • The setup closes after 10 minutes without finishing. Run /setup again to start over.
  • Discord allows up to 500 channels per server. If your selection would go over the limit, Logs Bot stops before creating anything and tells you by how much.
  • Running /setup again creates a new set of channels and moves those logs to them. Your old channels are not deleted, so remove them yourself if you don’t need them.
  • The message-sent-logs channel stays empty. Message Sent entries are saved to the dashboard instead of being posted. Why
