Hugging users enables a chat-triggered !hug command. When a member types !hug @target, the bot posts the configured message (with an image, mention, or embed) in response. Open Dashboard → Hugging Users.
How this message is delivered. It posts through a bot-owned webhook using the bot’s own name and avatar, so it looks exactly like a normal bot message. The bot needs Manage Webhooks in the target channel; without it the message is posted normally instead, so nothing is ever lost.

How it works

  • !hug @target — the bot responds in the current channel.
  • !hug @target #channel — the bot posts the response in #channel instead.
The #channel argument is optional. Without it the response stays where the command was used.

Settings

Core

toggle
Master switch for the hug command.
visual editor
The response posted when the command runs, built in the visual message editor — type inside a live Discord preview, toggle Embed on/off, and use placeholders like {user} (the one hugging), {target} (the one being hugged), {server}, {user_name} and {target_name}. See placeholders. For the image, the picker offers your uploaded image library (pick a specific image, or tick Random pick to use a fresh random image from that category every time), a random Picsum image, or any image URL. It comes pre-filled; Restore default in the toolbar brings the original back.
toggle
Removes the member’s !hug command message after the bot replies.
To mention (ping) the person being hugged, put {target} in the Message field (the line above the embed) — a mention there notifies them, unlike one inside the embed.

Cooldown

toggle
Adds a delay between uses to prevent spam. When off, the command has no wait.
number, 5 to 60
How long the cooldown lasts.

Destination for log entries.
