/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

- Ticket created with message content!
View User Tickets

🎨 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

✨ 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:

Validation
Better error messages:
- Reason too short? "Must be at least 10 characters"
- Tag name taken? "Tag already exists"
