Set up the bots

Sign in · 30 seconds

Sign in with your Discord account. You only see the servers you own or manage.

Add the bots · 1 minute

Open your server on the dashboard and click Invite Otto Grow, Invite Otto Guard and, if you want Otto Build to tidy your server, Improve my server. Discord opens with your server already picked: leave the permissions ticked and click Authorize.

Otto Growwelcomes new members, gives them a rank, levels, role menus, polls and timers.

Otto Guarda log of everything that happens, backups with a restore button, tickets and moderation.

Otto Buildchecks your channels, ranks and permissions and fixes what you approve.

Each bot works on its own, but they help each other: start with all three.

Right now the bots can only be added to servers we have invited. Sign in first; if a bot cannot be added yet, ask us via the contact link at the bottom of this page.

Put the bots high enough in your ranks · 1 minute

Discord only lets a bot manage ranks below its own. In Discord, open Server Settings → Roles and drag:

• Otto Grow above the ranks it hands out (for example Member and your level ranks);
• Otto Guard and Otto Build above the ranks they should look after.

Keep your own Owner/Admin rank at the very top. Click Save Changes.

Private channels? Let the bots in · only if you have them

Bots cannot see a private channel or category (such as 🔒 Staff) unless you add them — Discord does not let a bot add itself. Right-click the category → Edit Category → Permissions → + → pick the bot → turn on View Channel. Do this for the bots that should work there, for example Otto Guard for its log channel.

Not sure? Skip this step. The dashboard tells you exactly which channel needs it, and Otto Build can also get temporary full access for one job.

Switch things on · 2 minutes

Back on the dashboard, open each bot:

• Otto Grow → Welcome: pick the channel for welcome messages. Ranks: pick the rank new members get.
• Otto Guard → pick a log channel: Create a private #otto-log or Pick another channel. Backups start by themselves.
• Otto Build → Improve my server: click Check my server, tick the changes you want and click Apply (only the server owner can). Everything can be undone.

Check the green tick · 10 seconds

Each bot page shows ✅ Everything … needs is in place. If something is missing, click Add the missing permissions or follow the short note it shows. That is it — you are done.
