Using Voltix in your server
Everything you can do with Voltix from inside Discord: the commands, the buttons, and what each feature does. You do not need to install anything.
01Getting started
Voltix works through slash commands. Type / in any channel and pick a command from the list, or right-click a member or a message and open Apps. Only the commands your server has turned on will work.
- /help
- Shows what Voltix can do in this server, by category.
- /status
- Checks that Voltix is healthy here and lists any permission it is missing.
- /userinfo
- Shows information about a member.
- /serverinfo
- Shows information about the server.
- /roleinfo
- Shows information about a role.
- /channelinfo
- Shows information about a channel.
- /avatar
- Shows someone's avatar in full size.
02Everyday commands
- /rank
- Shows your level and XP.
- /leaderboard
- Shows the XP leaderboard for this server.
- /afk
- Tells people you are away. It clears when you talk again.
- /remind
- Sets a personal reminder (add, list, cancel). Voltix messages you when it is due.
- /birthday
- Set, remove or view your birthday, and see upcoming ones (set, remove, view, upcoming).

- Runs a custom command your server created.
- /event
- Create, list or cancel server events.
03Levels and XP
When leveling is on, you earn XP for chatting (and in voice channels, if the server enabled it). There is a short pause between awards so spamming does not help. Reaching a level can give you a role reward and a congratulation message.
- /rank shows your progress.
- /leaderboard shows the top members.
- Staff can adjust XP with /xp (add, remove, reset).
04Tickets and getting help
- Find the ticket panel your server posted (usually a message with buttons) and choose a category.
- If the category has a form, fill it in. Voltix opens a private channel for you and the support team.
- Describe your problem. Staff can claim, prioritise and add other people to the ticket.
- When it is closed, you may receive a transcript by direct message and a short rating request.
- /ticket
- Used inside a ticket channel: close, reopen, claim, unclaim, assign, priority, note, notes, add, remove.Staff
05Appeals and reports
If you were warned, timed out, kicked or banned and think it was a mistake, you can appeal. Staff review it in the dashboard. If an appeal is approved, the action is reversed automatically.
- /appeal
- Submit an appeal or check the status of an existing one (submit, status). Servers can also provide a public appeal page.
- /report
- Privately report a member to the moderators.
06Giveaways, polls and suggestions
- Giveaways: press the button on the giveaway message to enter. Some have requirements (a role, or more entries for boosters). Winners are announced when it ends.
- Polls: press a button to vote. Results update live and show when the poll closes.
- Suggestions: use /suggest, then vote on the posted suggestion. Staff mark it approved or denied.
- Role menus: choose roles from the buttons or menu on a role-menu message to give yourself roles.
- Verification: press the Verify button in the verification channel to unlock the rest of the server.
- /giveaway
- Start, end, reroll, cancel or list giveaways (start, form, end, reroll, cancel, list).Giveaway managers

09Common questions
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| A command says a module is turned off. | Your server managers disabled that feature. A manager can turn it on from the dashboard (Modules) or with /config enable. |
| A command is missing from the list. | Discord can take a little while to show new commands, and your server may have switched a command off. Try /help to see what is available. |
| Voltix says I lack permission. | The command needs a moderator or manager role. Ask your staff. |
| Does Voltix read my messages? | Only when the server turned on features that need it (auto moderation, leveling, auto responder, counting). It does not read direct messages. |
| I want my data removed. | Ask the server owner. Staff can download or erase the data Voltix holds about a member from the dashboard. |
