Guide/Getting started/The /flash setup wizard

Set Up a Discord Server in 3 Minutes with /flash

The interactive wizard that configures logging, security and community in about three minutes.

Quick answer

Run it, re-run it

/flash                 # every step skippable; nothing applies until Review → Apply
/flash                 # safe to run again: existing channels and roles are reused by name

Step by step

Flash asks a question per step. Every step can be skipped, and every step that needs a channel or role has a ✨ do it for me button that creates a sensible default. Nothing changes until you press Apply on the review screen; re-running Flash is safe and only touches the steps you answer.

Step	Question	What "do it for me" does
`Prefix`	Which prefix should text commands use?	Sets !
`Staff role`	Which role is your moderation team?	Creates @Staff. Mentioned on critical alerts, keeps access in lockdowns, sees log channels, handles tickets
`Logging`	How should logging be set up?	Full log category: 📋 SWEET LOGS with one channel per category (messages, members, voice, moderation, roles, channels, server, webhooks, emoji, security, config, invites, threads, polls, stages), staff-only
`Log channel`	Which channel should receive the logs?	Only asked for single-channel logging
`Security alerts`	Where should raid, nuke and AutoMod alerts go?	Creates 🚨-security-alerts (staff-only)
`Protections`	Which protections should be on?	Anti-nuke, anti-raid, AutoMod, heat, verification toggles
`Anti-nuke punishment`	What happens to a nuker?	ban / kick / quarantine / removeRoles
`Raid response`	What happens to high-risk accounts during a raid?	timeout / kick / ban / quarantine / alert only
`Lock on raid`	Lock the server for 10 minutes when a raid is detected?	yes / no
`Join gate`	Minimum account age to join without quarantine?	e.g. 7 days
`AutoMod strictness`	How strict should AutoMod be?	relaxed / balanced / strict presets for spam, mentions, links, words
`Verification mode`	How should members verify?	button / web / off; creates #verify and @Verified
`Quarantine role`	Which role should quarantined members get?	Creates @Quarantined with no permissions and denies it in every channel and category
`Backups`	Daily automatic backup?	Every 24 h, keeps 7
`Welcome messages`	Where should I welcome new members?	Creates 👋-welcome (read-only)
`Welcome text`	What should the welcome say?	Variables work: {user.mention}, {server.name}, {server.memberCount}
`Join DM`	Also DM new members?	yes / no
`Autorole`	Give new members a role automatically?	Creates @Member
`Temporary voice`	Join-to-create voice channels?	Creates TEMP VOICE category with 🎤 Join to Create
`Leveling`	XP for messages and voice?	Enables leveling
`Level-up channel`	Where should level-ups go?	Skip = announce where it happens
`Tickets`	Support ticket system?	Creates #support with an "Open a ticket" button, a Tickets category and a ticket log channel
`Weekly report`	Post a weekly analytics report?	Picks the alert or log channel

The review screen lists every change. After Apply, each line reports success or the reason it failed (usually a missing permission). Everything Flash sets can be changed later with the commands in this guide or on the dashboard.

Copy and try

Run it, re-run it

/flash                 # every step skippable; nothing applies until Review → Apply
/flash                 # safe to run again: existing channels and roles are reused by name

Good to know

Configuration → Quick setup is the same wizard as one form: every question, "create it for me" buttons, conditional questions appear as you answer, and Apply runs the identical services. Each run is logged as config.flash.
Flash sets a balanced AutoMod preset; tune it afterwards under Security → Protection.
Choosing "Full log category" creates 17 channels; pick single-channel logging on small servers.
