Name, description, and log channel

Name appears in the form picker and review screens. It must contain 1 to 100 characters. Use a specific name such as Moderator Application.

Description tells members what the form is for. It is optional and supports up to 1,024 characters.

Log Channel receives completed answers. Use a private staff channel that Discortics can view and send messages in. It is required on the public bot and recommended on Prime and Custom bots.

Open or close a form

  • Open forms appear when a member runs /application apply.
  • Closed forms keep their questions and responses but cannot receive a new application.

Close a form when recruitment ends temporarily. Delete it only when you no longer need its configuration.

Delete a form

Open the form and select Delete, then confirm. Deleting a form removes its configuration permanently.

Deleting the form does not clear its stored responses. Use /application delete first when you also need to remove its response history. If you only want to stop new applications, close the form instead.

Warning: A deleted form cannot be restored. Record its questions and settings before confirming if you may need them later.

Form checklist

Before sharing a form, confirm that:

  • Its name clearly describes the application.
  • It has at least one question.
  • The log channel is private and accessible to Discortics.
  • Its status is open.
  • Its role and channel restrictions allow the intended members.
  • A non-staff test account can complete it in DMs.
