Getting Started
SlakBot in 5 minutes
From install to first alert — step by step.
What you need
- A Discord server where you have Manage Server permission
- 5 minutes of time
- No credit card, no account signup
1Add SlakBot
Click the invite link and pick your server from the dropdown. SlakBot asks for a set of permissions — see below.
Tip: Only tick the permissions you actually need. SlakBot works without Administrator, with fewer features.
2Run /setup
Once SlakBot is in your server, type /setup in any channel. An interactive wizard appears.
/setup
The wizard auto-creates:
#mod-log— moderation actions#welcome— new member greeting@SlakBot Onlinerole — for live-alert pings
You can rename these later via the dashboard.
3Pick features
Open the dashboard and log in with Discord. Pick your server from the list.
Each feature has a simple toggle:
- YouTube alerts — enter your channel URL
- Twitch alerts — enter your username
- TikTok LIVE — enter your TikTok handle
- Anti-Scam OCR — toggle on (no config needed)
- Leveling — toggle on + pick XP per message
- Economy — toggle on (optional)
Important: For school servers we recommend keeping Leveling and Economy off — avoids distraction. See /en/for/schools.
4Test your setup
Test that everything works:
/rank— shows your level (starts at 1)/balance— shows 0 coins/daily— gives 100 coins/streamstats all— for streamer servers
