Create a Server - RestoreCord Docs

Create the server from the RestoreCord Dashboard after your custom bot is connected. The dashboard checks bot access, server permissions, and role setup as you go.

Quick Setup

Open Dashboard -> Servers -> Add new server and follow these steps.

Choose the Discord server

Select the server where members should verify, then continue. If the server is missing, invite the selected bot or confirm that you are logged into the correct Discord account.

Use a recognizable name.
Start with a letter.
Keep it between 3 and 99 characters.
