Configure a feature

Updated by Maxime_48 · 1 week ago · Views: 333

After activating a feature, you usually need to configure it before it can work correctly.

Each YAWBDB feature has its own settings. Some are simple forms, while others have dedicated pages or visual editors.

The Honeypot configuration screen with its channel picker, a dropdown and the Save Settings button

  1. A channel picker: choose from the list rather than typing an id.
  2. A dropdown chooses the behaviour (here the action taken on a trigger).
  3. Save Settings stores everything on the page. Nothing is kept until you click it.

⚙️ Open a feature configuration

From the dashboard:

  1. Select your server.
  2. Open Features.
  3. Find the feature you enabled.
  4. Open its configuration page.

Some server cards also include shortcuts for major features such as Leveling, Moderation, Reports, Tickets, and Automod.


🎛️ Common setting types

Depending on the feature, you may see settings such as:

#️⃣ Channels

Used for logs, notifications, results, reports, tickets, or level-up messages.

Examples:

  • Moderation log channel
  • Automod log channel
  • Tickets category
  • Reports category
  • Level-up announcement channel
  • Audio recording result channel

🎭 Roles

Used to control who can access or receive something.

Examples:

  • Staff roles for tickets
  • Staff roles for reports
  • Mute role for moderation
  • Role to ping on new tickets or reports
  • Auto Join Role
  • Daily Top Member role
  • Level reward roles

🔢 Numbers

Used for limits, rates, durations, cooldowns, and thresholds.

Examples:

  • Max reports per user per day
  • Max tickets per user per day
  • XP cooldown
  • Raid detection window
  • Spam message threshold
  • Minimum account age

🎛️ Toggles and dropdowns

Used to enable modes or choose behavior.

Examples:

  • Level-up notification mode
  • Automod action type
  • Link filter mode
  • Mute mode
  • Custom AI endpoint enabled or disabled

📄 Dedicated feature pages

Some features are too advanced for a simple settings form.

They use dedicated pages instead:

  • Leveling has settings, reward graph, and leaderboard pages.
  • Automod has a rule editor.
  • Moderation has member search and sanction history.
  • Reports and Tickets have list and detail views.
  • Wiki has sections, pages, editor, and history.

💾 Save changes

Always save your changes after editing a feature.

Long settings pages (for example AI Response, Audio Recording, Voice Conversation, Honeypot, Levels and Server Logs) fold their settings into titled cards. A contents list headed On this page jumps to a card, and each card says how many of its settings are configured. The advanced block stays folded and opens by itself when it holds a value.

The save bar stays in view while you scroll and counts your unsaved changes.

If a feature does not appear to update immediately, wait a few seconds and try again. Some bot-side services use cached configuration for performance.


🧪 Test after configuring

After saving a feature, test it with a simple action.

Examples:

  • Run /rank after enabling Leveling.
  • Send a test message that should trigger an Automod rule.
  • Open a test ticket with /ticket.
  • Submit a test report with /report.
  • Use a test voice channel before relying on Audio Recording for an important meeting.

🧘 Avoid over-configuring at first

Start with a simple configuration, confirm it works, then add complexity.

For example:

  • Start Leveling with basic XP settings before building a large Reward Graph.
  • Start Automod with one or two rules before enabling every rule type.
  • Start Reports or Tickets with a single staff role before expanding access.

This makes troubleshooting much easier.
