# Discover

Discover creates a public Discortics profile for your server, with a **Join** button that opens your invite.

## Before you begin

- You need **Manage Server** to configure the profile.
- Discortics needs **View Channel**, **Send Messages**, **Embed Links**, and **Create Invite** in the command channel.

## Publish your profile

### Dashboard Setup

1. Open [Dashboard → Settings → Discover](/dashboard/settings#discover).
2. Add a description, up to five tags, and an optional banner.
3. Select **Generate invite**.
4. Turn the **Discover** switch on and keep **Private profile** off.
5. Save, then open the public profile to test **Join**.

### Discord Command Setup

1. Run `/settings discovery` in a public channel.
2. Add a **Description**, **Tags**, and optional **Banner**.
3. Select **Generate Invite**.
4. Turn **Enabled** on and keep **Private** off.
5. Open the public profile to test **Join**.

Your profile is at `https://discortics.com/discover/SERVER_ID`. Use **Copy link** on the Dashboard or the share button on the profile.

## Settings

| Setting             | What it does                                                                               |
| ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Enabled**         | Publishes the profile. When off, the link shows **Server not found** and `/bump` can't run |
| **Private**         | Hides the profile, including from its direct link                                          |
| **Description**     | Tells visitors about your server                                                           |
| **Tags**            | Comma-separated, such as `gaming, minecraft, events`                                       |
| **Banner**          | A direct `https://` image link. If blank, your Discord banner or splash is used            |
| **Generate Invite** | Creates an invite with no expiry or use limit, and replaces the saved one                  |

Submit an empty field in Discord to clear it. There's no delete command, so turn off **Enabled** to unpublish.

The Dashboard creates the invite in the first channel available to Discortics. To choose the channel, use `/settings discovery` in it.

## Limits

Limits are the same on every plan.

| Resource               | Discord | Dashboard |
| ---------------------- | ------: | --------: |
| Tags per profile       |       5 |         5 |
| Description characters |     300 |       400 |
| Banner link characters |     300 |       500 |

## Bump your server

Run `/bump` in a channel where Discortics can create an invite. Any member can bump once every six hours, and each bump adds to your server's total and daily count. Recent daily activity is kept for seven days.

## Commands

| Command               | What it does                    | Permission    |
| --------------------- | ------------------------------- | ------------- |
| `/settings discovery` | Set up and publish your profile | Manage Server |
| `/bump`               | Add a bump                      | None          |

## Troubleshooting

**The profile says "Server not found".** Turn **Enabled** on and **Private** off.

**`/bump` won't run.** Discover must be on. Check your six-hour cooldown, and that Discortics can create an invite in the channel.

**The invite can't be generated.** Give Discortics **Create Invite** and access to the channel. If the Dashboard fails, use `/settings discovery` in a specific channel.

**Visitors see "Invite not available".** Generate a new invite. `/bump` also creates one if the saved invite is invalid.

**The banner is rejected.** Use a direct `https://` image link, not a web page.

Some profile details, such as sample members and emojis, only appear when Discord provides them.
