After you add it
Three things to check.
- 1
Move its role up
In Server Settings, open Roles and drag Wattle Bot above the roles you want it to give, take or moderate. Discord only lets a bot manage roles below its own.
- 2
Set it up
Open the dashboard and turn on the modules you want, or run /setup in Discord for a quick checklist.
- 3
Check its channels
Make sure Wattle Bot can see and post in the channels you pick for logs, welcome messages and alerts.

FAQ
Questions
What permissions does Wattle Bot need?
Only the ones its features use, and never Administrator. The Add to Discord page lists every permission and why it's needed. You can untick any of them on Discord's screen; the features that need them just won't work.
What's the difference between adding it to a server and to my account?
Added to a server, Wattle Bot can moderate, welcome people, play music and everything else on the features page. Added to your account, a handful of personal commands, like /remind and /avatar, work for you anywhere on Discord, even in servers that don't have Wattle Bot.
Why can't Wattle Bot give or take a role?
Discord only lets a bot manage roles that sit below its own role. In Server Settings, open Roles and drag the Wattle Bot role above the roles you want it to manage.
