Getting Started

First things first

Two quick steps before anything else.

You’ll need to invite Nox to your community to use all of its great features. You will then be redirected to your community’s very own dashboard pages on this website, where you can enable and configure Nox’s features. Please come and say hello in our support community, in case you need help or advice. Get Support

The permissions Nox needs

What the invite asks for, and what it deliberately leaves out.

Nox needs some permissions to act in your Discord, and the invite enables a set of them by default. Crucially, Nox does not request Administrator or Manage Server, as that would be excessive. To understand which permissions Nox enables and why, review our Discord permissions reference. Discord permissions reference

Important things to know about Nox

The essentials worth knowing before you configure anything.

Nox doesn’t see your conversations

Nox uses Discord application commands, buttons and forms without requesting the message content intent. Text submitted directly through these features is processed to make them work.

Members need the Use Application Commands permission

Slash commands only appear for members whose roles have Discord’s Use Application Commands permission in that channel. If someone cannot see Nox’s commands, check that permission first.

Slash commands

Choose who can use commands, and where

In the Discord app, open Server Settings, then Integrations, then Nox. From there you decide which roles and members can use each command and which channels it works in.

Deleting your data

Removing Nox from your community will schedule your data for deletion after a grace period, which protects you from accidental removals. You can also use the reset function from your community’s dashboard to remove data.

Read the privacy policy

Nox will not DM members or use @everyone or @here

Nox only posts in the channels you configure. It never sends direct messages to your members and never uses @everyone or @here; where a feature needs to notify a group, it mentions only the specific role you chose.

Nox won’t assign elevated roles

Roles that carry powerful permissions, such as Administrator, Manage Server or Moderate Members, cannot be assigned by role boards, tickets or custom commands. They appear greyed out in the dashboard, and the bot refuses them again at the moment of assignment.
