What they are
A custom command is a name and a canned response. A member types
/rules and ScoutBot posts what you wrote. Good candidates are the
things asked weekly: rules, how to verify, where to find support, when the next
event is.
Creating one
Command
What people type after the slash. Must be all lower-case — Discord rejects anything else, so a command with a capital in it will not register.
Keep it short and guessable. /rules gets used;
/server-rules-and-guidelines does not.
Title
The heading of the response message.
Description
What the command is for. This is the text Discord shows in the command picker as somebody types, so it is worth writing for that context — it is how members discover the command exists at all.
Response
What ScoutBot posts when the command is called.
Image URL
Optional. Must be a Discord image link — post the image in any channel,
right-click it, and copy the link. It should start with
https://media.discordapp....
Links to images hosted elsewhere may stop working without warning when the host changes or expires them, which is why this asks for a Discord one.
When commands appear in Discord
Slash commands are registered with Discord rather than handled by ScoutBot directly, and that registration syncs periodically rather than instantly. A new command can take a few minutes to show up in the picker. If it has not appeared, wait before assuming it failed.
Editing and deleting
Each command on the page can be edited or deleted individually. Deleting removes it from Discord on the next sync.
Free
Custom commands are free on every server.
