🚀 How to Set Up ProBot (3-Step Guide)

Getting ProBot on your server takes less than three minutes.

• Step 1: Invite ProBot
  1. Go to the official ProBot website.
  2. Click the “Add to Discord” button.
  3. Select the server you want to add ProBot to and click “Authorize.”
  4. Confirm the required permissions.
• Step 2: Grant Core PermissionsFor ProBot to work correctly, it needs a few key permissions in your Server Settings > Roles.
  • Administrator: This is the easiest way to ensure everything works.
  • (If not Admin): It needs Manage Server, Manage Roles, and Manage Messages.
• Step 3: Adjust Role Hierarchy (Crucial!)This is the most important step. For ProBot to manage other roles (like for leveling or moderation), its own role must be at the top of your role list.
  1. Go to Server Settings > Roles.
  2. Find the “ProBot” role.
  3. Click and drag the ProBot role to the very top of the list (or at least above any roles you want it to manage).
  4. Click “Save Changes.”

🖥️ The ProBot Dashboard: Your Command Center

ProBot’s real power is its web dashboard. After logging in on the ProBot website, you can control every aspect of the bot.

What you can do on the dashboard:

• Toggle Modules: Turn features like “Leveling” or “Welcome” on or off.
• Customize Commands: Create aliases, set permissions (who can use them), and limit them to specific channels.
• Set Up Welcomes: Design a custom welcome image and message for new members.
• Configure Leveling: Set XP rates and define which roles are given at which levels.
• Set Up Logs: Choose exactly what actions (e.g., “message deleted,” “member banned”) get recorded in a specific log channel.

Troubleshooting: If your server doesn’t show up on the dashboard, it’s almost always because you (the owner) are not logged into the correct Discord account on the ProBot website.

⭐ ProBot’s Most Popular Features

ProBot’s features are “modules” you can enable on the dashboard.
