Server Designer
Build a complete Discord server — channels, roles, rules, welcome embeds — from two questions and one button. The Designer also configures Docket itself, so what it builds works immediately.
How it works
- Open Build > Server Designer on your dashboard
- Pick your community type — FiveM, other roleplay, or general gaming
- Tick the features you want: tickets, applications, in-character channels, departments, giveaways, voice
- Optionally add a note (e.g. "western frontier theme") and press Generate
- Review the preview — the full channel tree, every role, and the generated rules
- Press Apply & set up once
What Apply actually does
- Creates every category, channel and role from the design
- Posts the welcome and info embeds into the new channels
- Wires Docket's own configuration to the result: ticket alerts, audit logging, the AI assistant channel, giveaway channel, auto-mod monitoring on in-character channels, and staff roles
- Saves the generated rules into your AI knowledge base, so the support AI answers from them immediately
The report afterwards lists exactly what was created and what was configured, so nothing happens silently.
Additive by default — replace mode by choice
By default the Designer is strictly additive. A channel or role whose name already exists is skipped — never renamed, moved, or deleted. Embeds are only posted into channels the Designer itself created.
Replace mode is an explicit checkbox on the preview: after the new structure is created, every channel that is not part of the design is permanently deleted — the preview lists exactly which ones, and you must type your server's name to arm the button before it will fire. Deleted message history cannot be recovered. Channels with live state are always kept regardless: open tickets, active temp-voice rooms, the status channel, and the Community rules/updates channels. Roles are never deleted in either mode.
Community servers
Announcement and forum channels require Discord's Community feature. If your design includes them and your server is not a Community server yet, Docket enables Community for you during apply — using the rules channel from your new design — then creates them properly. If Discord refuses, they are created as normal text channels and the report says so.
Costs and limits
Generating a design uses one AI request from your plan's monthly allowance. Applying uses none. Designs are saved as drafts — you can generate, close the page, and come back to apply later.
