​
Notifications

The bot will post notifications in your configured channel for:

Create a dedicated #bounties channel to keep bounty activity organized.

​
Permissions

Configure role-based permissions:
  • Create bounties: Limit to specific roles
  • Submit work: Open to all or specific roles
  • Approve submissions: Bounty creator or admin roles
Use /bounty permissions to configure these settings.

​
Embeds and formatting

  • Reward amount (highlighted)
  • Deadline countdown
  • Required skills tags
  • Quick action buttons

​
Troubleshooting

Ensure the bot has permissions to read messages and send messages in the channel. Check that you’re using / slash commands, not ! prefix commands.
Verify you have the required role permissions set in /bounty permissions.
Run /bounty setup again and ensure you’ve selected a valid notification channel.
