Channel routing
Error reporting channel
channel picker
The bot posts error alerts to this channel when a command or feature crashes. Useful for catching bugs and permission issues quickly.If this is unset, or the bot can’t post there, errors go to the best channel the bot can post in, with a note on how to change it. Staff-only channels are tried first. The same error repeats there at most once an hour.If the bot can’t post in any channel, errors only appear in the bot’s per-server log file.
/error-log-channel, which admins and mods can run. The bot checks it can post in the channel first and tells you which permission is missing if it can’t. Only you see the reply.
Errors posted here include the error type, a short message, and the feature that triggered them. No sensitive configuration is leaked — just enough to diagnose and open a support ticket.
Bot update channel
channel picker
The bot posts news and release-notes messages to this channel when new features ship or behavior changes. One channel per server.
Missing permission warnings
If the bot can’t do something because of a missing permission, the feature stays on and a warning appears in that feature’s menu from the first failure. It says what the bot couldn’t do, where, and which permission to grant. Guild Settings lists every warning in the server. The warning clears within about five minutes of granting the permission, or the next time the feature works. Dismissing a warning hides it until the next failure. This covers posting messages, assigning or removing roles, and using webhooks. A few capabilities are paused instead, as described below.Paused features
If someone removes a permission the bot needs, the bot notices and pauses just the part that stopped working rather than retrying forever. It turns that part back on by itself once the permission is restored. It pauses after five refusals in a row, and only the specific capability that failed:Role assignment needs Manage Roles and the bot’s highest role to sit above the role it is granting. The permission can look correct while the role order is still wrong — this is the most common cause.
How you find out
A banner appears at the top of your dashboard listing what is paused, the permission needed, and the channel. That banner always appears. The bot also tells you in Discord, the same way as any other error: see error reporting channel. If it can’t post in any channel, it DMs the server owner instead.Turning it back on
Grant the permission in Discord. The bot re-checks every few minutes and switches the feature back on by itself — there is nothing to change in the dashboard, and the banner disappears on its own. Where a sub-setting was paused rather than a whole feature (for example, deleting wrong counts), the bot clears the warning but leaves that toggle off, so you can decide whether you still want it. Turn it back on in the feature’s own page.Saving
Both channels save together with the Save Settings button at the bottom of the Channel Routing section. Changes apply immediately.See also
