Applications | Discortics Documentation

Discortics is a Discord application bot that automates staff recruitment, creator onboarding, whitelist applications, and community feedback forms. Members apply interactively through Discord direct messages (DMs) or a web browser, and staff review submissions with one-click Accept and Deny buttons in a private channel, automatically assigning roles and opening private follow-up support tickets.

Why Discortics for Applications

Unlike bots that lock basic form features behind expensive paywalls or limit you to 2 simple forms, Discortics gives you a complete recruitment engine with file uploads, regular expression checks, and automated server activity gates.

Before you begin

You need Manage Server to create and edit application forms.
Create a private staff log channel for incoming submissions. It is required on the Public bot.
Give Discortics Manage Roles and keep the Discortics role higher than any role it adds or removes.
Applicants must allow direct messages from server members if they choose the Discord DM application flow.

Create your first form

Create a form from the Dashboard

Open Dashboard → Applications.
Select New Application and enter a form name and private log channel.
Add your questions (Text, Multiple choice, Role select, or File upload).
Configure accepted and denied roles under Basic.
Save the form and toggle it to Open.
Test it in Discord with /application apply.

How it works

Member starts: an applicant runs /application apply or clicks an Application Panel button.
Delivery choice: the applicant chooses to answer in Discord DMs or via the responsive Web portal.
Interactive questionnaire: Discortics asks each question in order. Text questions can enforce regex formatting, and file questions accept screenshots, audio, clips, or documents.
Staff notification: completed submissions post to your private logging channel with applicant details, account age, server join date, and answers.
Staff decision: reviewers click Accept or Deny directly in Discord, or review submissions in bulk.
Automatic execution: Discortics DMs the applicant with the decision, assigns accepted roles, removes applicant roles, and optionally opens an interview ticket.

Core features

4 Question types

Text: single-line or multi-line answers up to 1,024 characters. Supports RE2 regular expression validation (such as enforcing Steam IDs, FiveM links, or emails).
Multiple choice (MCQ): 2 to 25 choices per question. Configure single-choice or multi-choice with minimum and maximum selection limits.
Role select: applicants pick from a list of 1 to 25 server roles.
File uploads: collect screenshots, portfolios, audio, videos, or PDFs directly through Discord's native uploader (up to 10 files per question).

Advanced eligibility gates

Keep spammers and brand-new alts out before they can open a form. Under Restrictions, configure:

Allowed & Blocked Roles: require specific ranks or prevent already-verified members from applying.
Allowed & Blocked Channels: confine application commands to specific recruitment channels.
Account Age: require applicant accounts to be at least X days old.
Server Membership Duration: require members to have been in your server for X days.
Activity Gates: require a minimum text level, lifetime messages sent, voice channel minutes, or verified tracked invites.

Automated role management

Configure role actions under Basic or /application settings:

Accepted roles: added automatically when an application is approved.
Denied roles: added automatically if rejected (e.g. Reapply Later).
Removal roles: stripped upon decision (e.g. removing Applicant or Unverified).

Application Manager roles

Delegate application reviews to moderators without granting server administration rights. Assign up to 2 Application Manager roles per form. Members holding these roles can review, accept, deny, and delete that specific form's submissions from Discord without needing Manage Server.

One-click interview tickets

Need to interview shortlisted candidates? Turn on Create ticket button under Advanced and select a ticket panel. A Create ticket button will appear on the Discord submission card, allowing reviewers to instantly create a private ticket channel with the applicant.

In-Discord bulk review

Clear backlog queues quickly with bulk decision commands:

/application accept form: reason: approves all pending submissions for that form at once.
/application deny form: reason: rejects all pending submissions in bulk.

Command reference

Command	Description	Permission
`/application apply`	Opens an application form in DMs or web browser	Everyone
`/application settings`	Opens the form configuration panel	Manage Server
`/application review`	Reviews a member's submitted response	Application Manager / Manage Server
`/application accept`	Accepts a submission (or bulk accepts when omitting user)	Application Manager / Manage Server
`/application deny`	Denies a submission (or bulk denies when omitting user)	Application Manager / Manage Server
`/application delete`	Deletes submitted responses for a form	Application Manager / Manage Server

Prefix commands use ;asettings, ;aapply, ;areview, ;aaccept, ;adeny, and ;adelete.

Website applications

In an application form’s Advanced settings, turn Website applications off to collect responses through Discord only. Existing forms keep website applications enabled until you turn this setting off. Turning it off also prevents unfinished website sessions from submitting; existing responses stay available.

Next steps

Forms: create, open, close, and delete forms.
Customisation: questions, regex patterns, access rules, role actions, and panels.
Applying and responses: review, accept, deny, bulk actions, and interview tickets.
Limits: compare form, question, and upload limits by plan.

Troubleshooting

The form doesn't appear in /application apply. Check that the form is toggled to Open, contains at least one question, and that your roles and channel are not blocked under Restrictions.

The applicant gets no questions in DMs. Discord privacy settings block DMs from server members by default on some accounts. The applicant must open their Discord settings, navigate to Privacy & Safety, and toggle on Allow direct messages from server members. Alternatively, enable Website applications so they can apply via browser.

Discortics cannot assign the accepted role. Discortics needs the Manage Roles permission, and its bot integration role must sit higher in the Discord role list than the roles it is assigning or removing.

How do I export application responses? On Prime and Custom bots, open Dashboard → Applications, click your form, navigate to Responses, and select Export to download all collected submissions as CSV or JSON.
