Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have:
Administrator permissions in your Discord server
Fire invited to your server (Need to invite Fire?)

​
Setup steps

1

Configure basic settings

Start by setting up Fire’s essential features for your server.

​
Set your language

Fire supports multiple languages. Set your server’s preferred language:
/language [language]
You can also set your personal language preference, which will override the server default for your interactions with Fire.

​
Check Fire’s permissions

Ensure Fire has the necessary permissions to function properly. Fire needs:
  • Send Messages - To respond to commands
  • Embed Links - To send rich embeds
  • Manage Messages - For moderation features
  • Manage Roles - For auto-roles and moderation
  • Ban Members - For ban commands
  • Kick Members - For kick commands
  • Manage Channels - For ticket system and lockdowns
Fire’s role must be positioned above any roles you want it to manage. Discord only allows bots to manage roles below their highest role.
2

Set up moderation

Configure Fire’s moderation features to keep your server safe.

​
Enable logging

Track important events in your server with Fire’s logging system:
/logging configure [log-type] [channel]
Available log types:
  • Moderation logs - Track bans, kicks, warnings, and other mod actions
  • Action logs - Monitor message edits, deletions, and channel changes
  • Member logs - Track joins, leaves, and role changes

​
Configure auto-moderation

Enable automatic protection against spam and unwanted content:
/anti [feature] [action]
Auto-mod features include:
  • Spam detection and prevention
  • Mass mention blocking
  • Invite link filtering
  • Zalgo text removal
  • Duplicate message detection
Start with basic auto-moderation features and adjust based on your server’s needs. You can always enable more features later.
3

Set up welcome features

Make new members feel welcome and informed.

​
Configure join messages

Send a custom message when members join:
/joinmsg [channel] [message]
You can use these variables in your messages:
  • {user.mention} - Mentions the user
  • {user.name} - User’s username
  • {guild} - Server name
  • {count} - Member count
Example:
Welcome {user.mention} to {guild}! You are member #{count}.

​
Configure leave messages

Track when members leave your server:
/leavemsg [channel] [message]
4

Create custom tags

Build a knowledge base for your server.Tags are custom commands that display information when invoked. They’re perfect for:
  • Server rules
  • Frequently asked questions
  • Important announcements
  • Quick responses to common questions

​
Create your first tag

/tag create [name] [content]
Example:
/tag create rules Please follow our server rules: 1. Be respectful 2. No spam 3. Stay on topic

​
Use a tag

Members can then use your tag with:
/tag [name]
Tags support embeds for rich, formatted content. Use /embed create to design custom embeds for your tags.
5

Enable tickets (optional)

Set up a professional support system for your server.

​
Create a ticket category

First, create a Discord category channel where tickets will be created.

​
Enable the ticket system

/ticket enable [category]
Or use threads instead of channels:
/ticket enable [channel]

​
Customize ticket settings

  • Set ticket description: /ticket description [text]
  • Set ticket limit per user: /ticket limit [number]
  • Configure who can be added: /ticket invitable [role]
  • Add support staff: /ticket add [role]
Thread-based tickets require your server to have access to threads. This feature is available to servers with the appropriate tier or boosts.

​
Test Fire’s functionality

Once you’ve completed the setup, verify everything is working:
Try these commands to ensure Fire is responding correctly:
/help
Displays Fire’s help menu with all available commands.
/ping
Shows Fire’s latency and status.
/stats
Displays Fire’s statistics and uptime.
If you set up moderation logging:
  1. Try a test command like /warn on a test account
  2. Check if the log appears in your configured channel
  3. Verify that moderation actions are being recorded
If you created tags:
  1. Use /tag list to see all tags
  2. Try calling a tag with /tag [name]
  3. Edit a tag with /tag edit [name] [new-content]
