Customise a form after its basic name and log channel work. Add only the restrictions and actions your server actually needs, then test them with a non-staff account.
Add questions
Every form needs at least one question.
- Simple asks for a text answer of up to 1,024 characters.
- MCQ shows 2 to 25 unique choices. Set how many choices the member must and may select.
- File asks for 1 to 10 uploads and can accept all files, images, videos, or PDFs.
Every question can be required or optional. Optional questions include a Skip button.
Use Rearrange in Discord and enter every question number in the new order, such as 3,1,2. Use the trash action to remove questions.
Control who can apply
Allowed Roles requires the member to have at least one selected role.
Blocked Roles prevents members with any selected role from applying.
Allowed Channels lets members start the form only in selected channels.
Blocked Channels prevents the form from starting in selected channels.
A role or channel cannot be both allowed and blocked. Leave an allowed list empty when everyone should be allowed unless blocked separately.
Ping reviewers
Use Response Settings → Ping Roles to mention up to 25 roles when Discortics posts a completed response in the log channel.
Choose only roles responsible for reviewing that form. Too many pings make new applications easier to miss.
Send a completion message
Add a completion message of up to 2,000 characters under Response Settings. On Public, it is sent only after all required log pages have been delivered.
Include the expected review time, next step, or staff contact. Leave it empty to use Discortics' standard confirmation.
Add accepted and denied role actions
Configure optional role actions for each decision:
- Add a
Trial Moderatorrole after acceptance. - Remove an
Applicantrole after either decision. - Add a
Reapply Laterrole after denial.
Configure up to 3 roles on the Public bot, 10 on Prime, and 25 on Custom. Discortics needs Manage Roles, and its highest role must be above the selected roles. Managed integration roles cannot be used.
Shuffle questions
Shuffle changes the question order for each applicant. It does not shuffle MCQ choices.
Enable it when question order should vary. Keep it disabled when one question depends on an earlier answer.
Add a form icon
In /application settings, select Icon, then send a Unicode emoji or a custom emoji from the same server within 60 seconds. The icon helps members identify the form in menus and application panels.
Send the default application message
In /application settings, choose Send, select up to 25 applications and up to 10 channels, then submit. This sends the default message without creating or updating a saved panel. If the server has more than 25 forms, the command offers the selected form's group; use the Dashboard to combine forms from different groups.
Build an application panel message
The Dashboard provides a flexible message builder for application panels supporting both Components V2 and Classic V1 embed formats. A panel can combine rich embeds, sections, text, images, and interactive buttons or dropdown menus connected to your forms.
Create an application panelConnect each application action to the form it should open.
- Open Dashboard → Applications → Panels.
- Select New Panel.
- Choose your message format (Components V2 or Classic V1 Embed) in the preview header.
- Add text, embeds, sections, images, or other message blocks.
- Add an application button or select menu action and connect it to its form.
- Set which users, roles, or everyone may be mentioned.
- Choose up to 10 destination channels.
- Save, then send the panel.

The application panel message builder
The builder checks Discord component and text limits before sending. Closed forms can remain connected to a saved panel, but members cannot start them until the form is opened again.
Test the customisation
Use a non-administrator test account and confirm that:
- The form appears only for the intended roles and channels.
- Required and optional questions behave correctly.
- The log channel receives the response and pings the right reviewers.
- The completion message is clear.
- Accepting or denying applies the expected role action.
