Wait up to 1 hour for Discord to fully sync all commands.

For Staff:

/search query:test status:open
/response list
Right-click any message → "Create Ticket From Message"
Right-click any user → "View User Tickets"

For Admins:

/stats

Set priority with /priority (dropdown: low, normal, medium, high); channel name gets the priority emoji.


📊 What Changed

Commands

  • Before: 15 commands
  • After: 13 slash commands + 2 context menu commands = 15 total
  • Saved responses: /response send, /response create, etc.; ticket category: /tag (dropdown).

New Features

  • Search command with filters
  • Stats command with analytics
  • Context menu commands (right-click)
  • Priority selection buttons
  • Tag delete confirmation
  • Loading states everywhere
  • Error tracking & monitoring
  • Thread-style tickets support

Improvements

  • Context restrictions (guild-only commands)
  • Permission checks (staff-only visibility)
  • String length validation (10-500 chars, etc.)
  • Better organization (grouped tag commands)

🎯 Key New Commands

/search <query> [status]

Search tickets by email, subject, or number.

Example:

/search query:john@example.com status:open

/stats

View bot analytics and performance metrics.

Shows:

  • Bot uptime
  • Total interactions
  • Open/closed tickets
  • Error rates
  • Top commands

/response send|create|edit|delete|list and /tag

Saved responses: /response send, /response create, /response edit, /response delete, /response list. Use /tag (dropdown) to set ticket category (Server Down, Billing, Mod Help, etc.); the bot posts a categorization message.


🖱️ Context Menu Commands

Create Ticket From Message

  1. Right-click any message
  2. Apps → "Create Ticket From Message"
  3. Ticket created with message content!

View User Tickets

  1. Right-click any user
  2. Apps → "View User Tickets"
  3. See all their tickets instantly!

🎨 Priority (slash command only)

Set ticket priority with /priority (dropdown: low, normal, medium, high). The channel/thread name is prefixed with the priority emoji (🟢 🟡 🟠 🔴). No priority buttons are shown on tickets; use the command only.


🧵 Thread-Style Tickets (Optional)

Want tickets as threads instead of channels?

Enable in .env:

USE_THREADS=true
THREAD_PARENT_CHANNEL=<your_channel_id>

Benefits:

  • Cleaner server structure
  • Auto-archive after 24h
  • No channel limit issues
  • Perfect for high volume

📈 Analytics & Monitoring

What's Tracked

  • Every command used
  • Every button clicked
  • Every modal submitted
  • Every error that occurs

View Analytics

/stats

Console Output

📊 Analytics: commands/search by User#1234
❌ Error tracked: tag-create: UNIQUE constraint failed
⚠️  HIGH ERROR RATE: 6.5% in last hour

🔒 Permission System

Who Sees What

UX Improvements

Loading States

Commands show "thinking..." indicator:

  • /search - While searching database
  • /stats - While calculating metrics
  • /tag list - While fetching tags
  • Context menus - While processing

Confirmations

Destructive actions require confirmation:

  • Tag delete: Shows Yes/Cancel buttons
  • Ticket close: Shows Confirm/Cancel buttons

Validation

Better error messages:

  • Reason too short? "Must be at least 10 characters"
