GETTING STARTED

Get Aegis up and running

Aegis is already hosted and online 24/7. Once added to your server, it's ready to go — here's how to configure it in a few minutes.

Before you begin

Nothing to install or host. You simply need:

Permission

Manage Server

Be an administrator or have the "Manage Server" permission on your Discord.

1 click

The bot added

Aegis present on your server via the "Add to Discord" button.

≈ 5 min

A little time

Basic configuration takes a few minutes with /setup.

1 · Add Aegis to your server

1

Invite the bot

Click the button below, pick your server from the list, then approve the requested permissions. Aegis appears instantly in your member list.

2

Check the role position

For moderation to work, the Aegis role must be placed above the members it will manage.

In Server Settings → Roles, drag the Aegis role high enough in the list. Discord prevents a bot from acting on a member whose role is above its own.

2 · Express setup

Configure everything from one place

The /setup command opens a guided configuration center: an interactive menu where you enable and tune most modules without memorizing anything.

/setup
It's the ideal starting point. The next steps detail each module, but you can do it all from /setup.

3 · Language & moderation team

1

Choose the bot's language

Aegis replies in 17 languages. Set your server's — all of its responses will adapt.

/language language: English
2

Designate your team

By default, moderation is limited to members with Manage Server or Administrator. To let other roles moderate, configure your staff roles.

/staffroles configure

Members with a staff role can then use /ban /warn /timeout and the other moderation tools.

4 · Welcome your members

1

Welcome message

Open the interactive panel to compose a welcome message, in plain text or an embed, and choose the channel where it appears.

/setup-welcome
2

Automatic role on arrival

Automatically assign a role to every new member — handy to grant basic access or mark newcomers.

/autorole setup role: @Member

5 · Protect the server

1

Anti-raid

Enable automatic detection of suspicious join bursts, with quarantine and an alerts channel.

/antiraid setup
2

Captcha on arrival

Require image verification from new members before they access the server.

/captcha setup
3

Activity logs

Track what happens on the server (messages, members, channels, roles, voice…) and route each category to the channel of your choice.

/logs setup channel: #logs

6 · Grow the community

1

Levels & XP

Reward activity with a message-based level system, rank cards and a leaderboard.

/levels setup
2

Support tickets

Set up a ticket panel to handle member requests, with transcripts archived on close.

/support-ticket setup
3

Music

No configuration required: join a voice channel and play a track. Optionally define DJ roles to skip a song in one click.

/play/queue/skip/volume/dj add
