Learn FiveDash's Discord module, set up your city's bot and follow members, modules and commands on one screen.
The Discord module puts a bot with your city’s name and avatar in your Discord server. It handles the front door (verification, welcome, whitelist), support (tickets, forms), the community (suggestions, creators, clock-in) and safety (moderation, summons, protection). Everything is set up here in the panel; the bot just carries it out. This page is for owners and staff who will turn the bot on and follow it day to day.
Open Discord in the sidebar. While the bot isn’t ready, the page shows Connect your city’s bot, with three steps. It takes about five minutes. The full walkthrough is in Bot.
In the Discord Developer Portal, create an application with your city’s name, copy the token in the Bot tab (Reset Token) and turn on Server Members Intent and Message Content Intent. Paste the token in Bot token and click Connect bot.
Click Add to Discord, authorize the bot in your city’s server and come back to the panel’s tab. Under Where the bot joined, pick the server and click Use this server.
The panel checks everything directly on Discord. Once the required items show All good, click Finish. The bot is ready and Go to the bot’s panel takes you to it.
After setup, Discord → Overview shows the bot’s health and a summary of every module.
| Item | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Status | Online, Starting, Offline or Token rejected. |
| Check connection | Runs the Discord checks again (permissions, intents, endpoint, commands). Anyone with access to the module can use it. |
| More bot options menu | Change token and Disconnect bot. Only shows for people with Configure on Bot. |
| Connection health | All good or Needs attention, with the Gateway state: Online on the Gateway, Starting on the Gateway or Offline on the Gateway. |
What each status means:
| Status | What happens |
|---|---|
| Online | Connected to the Gateway: joins, suggestions, protection and interview rooms arrive instantly. |
| Starting | The bot is joining the Gateway. It takes a few minutes and the page updates on its own. |
| Offline | Commands keep working, but joins, suggestions, protection and interview rooms are paused until the worker is back. |
| Token rejected | Discord rejected the token. Commands stop responding until a new token is saved. |
| Number | What it counts |
|---|---|
| Members | Members of the Discord server, with how many are online. |
| Joins · 7 days | Who joined in the last 7 days, compared with the previous 7 days. |

| Modules on | How many modules are on. |
Server movement shows joins and leaves over the last 14 days, with the Net. Numbers show up as soon as the bot is online on the Gateway.
Each module has a card with its main number for the last 7 days. A module that’s off shows Off and a Set up and turn on button.

Do commands work while the bot is Offline? Yes. Slash commands keep responding. What pauses are the live events: joins, suggestions, protection and interview rooms, until the bot is online on the Gateway again.
Can I use the same bot in two FiveDash servers? No. Each bot is tied to one FiveDash server. If the token belongs to a bot already connected elsewhere, the panel shows “This bot is already connected to another FiveDash server.”
Someone on the team can’t see the Overview. Why? They’re missing the View level on Overview. Change it in Settings → Members. See Team and permissions.
