Discord Custom Command Bot

A production-ready bot that lets you define dynamic slash commands, message commands, and workflow automations for Discord servers — no code changes required. It streamlines repetitive moderation and engagement tasks while keeping responses fast, consistent, and brand-safe. The outcome: fewer manual clicks, richer member interactions, and scalable server operations powered by robust scheduling and retries.

     

Created by Appilot, built to showcase our approach to Automation!

Introduction

What it does: Creates and runs custom commands (slash, context, message prefixes), reaction-based flows, and scheduled routines across channels and roles.
What it automates: Moderation, Q&A, onboarding, utility lookups, bulk notices, role gating, and multi-step workflows.
The benefit: Save hours of moderator time, reduce human error, and deliver consistent experiences to your community 24/7.

Automating Discord Server Workflows

• Define commands in JSON/YAML and deploy instantly with hot-reload.
• Built-in scheduler, queues, and retries keep tasks reliable under load.
• Pluggable handlers (webhooks, HTTP, DB, files) for rich, data-driven responses.
• Anti-abuse guardrails: rate limits, cooldowns, and permission-scoped execution.
• Optional Android/mobile path via Appilot for UI-level actions when API access is limited.

Core Features

• Real Devices and Emulators: Optional Android path via Appilot to drive the Discord mobile app (Bluestacks/real devices) for UI-only actions like tapping UI elements not exposed by the API.
• No-ADB Wireless Automation: ADB-less device control with Accessibility/UI Automator bridges to execute taps, scrolls, and text input when you need mobile-only flows.
• Mimicking Human Behavior: Randomized delays, jitter, and human-like navigation to reduce detection and avoid spammy patterns.
• Multiple Accounts Support: Isolated tokens/profiles, per-account limits, and concurrency controls for safe multi-bot operations.
• Multi-Device Integration: Run the API bot plus optional Android drivers in parallel; route tasks to the best executor automatically.
• Exponential Growth for Your Account: Consistent engagement loops (welcome flows, reaction roles, reminders) that compound member participation.
• Premium Support: Priority bug fixes, configuration reviews, and performance tuning for high-traffic communities.
• Command Builder UI: JSON/YAML schema with validation for defining commands, arguments, and permissions.
• Scheduler & Queues: Cron-like jobs, delayed tasks, and idempotent workers for reliable execution.
• Observability: Structured logs, metrics, and per-command tracing for debugging and analytics.

Feature	Description
Slash & Context Commands	Native / commands and right-click context actions with argument parsing and autocompletion.
Role-Based Permissions	Fine-grained allow/deny by role/channel/user with cooldowns and rate limits.
Workflow Engine	Compose multi-step actions (if/else, wait, fetch, transform, reply) as declarative graphs.
Integrations Hub	Webhooks, REST APIs, Google Sheets/Notion/DB access for dynamic responses.
Hot Reload & Versioning	Update commands without downtime; rollback instantly if needed.
Moderation Toolkit	Kick/ban/mute/tempban flows, keyword filters, and escalation rules.

How It Works

1. Input or Trigger — From the Appilot dashboard, select tasks (e.g., onboarding replies, keyword responses, scheduled notices) and set targets (channels, roles, schedules).
2. Core Logic — The bot executes via Discord API (discord.js/discord.py). For UI-only mobile paths, Appilot drives Android (UI Automator/Accessibility) to tap, type, and navigate.
3. Output or Action — Sends replies, assigns roles, posts embeds, updates threads, or triggers external webhooks/DB updates.
4. Other functionalities — Retries with exponential backoff, circuit breakers, structured logs, per-command metrics, and parallel workers configurable in the Appilot dashboard.

Use Cases

• Community Managers use it to publish scheduled announcements with embeds, so they can run events without manual posting.
• Moderators use it to apply role gates and cooldowns, so they can reduce spam and keep channels clean.
• Studios & Brands use it to run Q&A/FAQ commands linked to a knowledge base, so they can scale support without extra staff.
• Hackathons & Courses use it to auto-onboard participants and distribute resources, so they can keep operations smooth.

FAQs

How do I configure this automation for multiple accounts?
Provide multiple tokens and isolate them with per-shard queues. The bot enforces per-account rate limits, cooldowns, and separate command namespaces.

Does it support proxy rotation or anti-detection?
For API traffic, we follow Discord best practices (intents, rate limits, user agent hygiene). For optional Android paths, device profiles and randomized interaction patterns help mimic real usage.

Can I schedule it to run periodically?
Yes. Use the built-in scheduler (cron-like) or delayed jobs to post messages, rotate topics, or refresh data at precise intervals.

Can I edit commands without redeploying?
Yes. Commands are defined in YAML/JSON with schema validation and hot-reload; a helper script syncs slash commands with Discord.

Performance & Reliability Benchmarks

• Execution Speed: Typical command round-trip < 120 ms on local region hosting; bulk operations batched with back-pressure to respect Discord limits.
• Success Rate: 95% measured across command executions with retries and idempotency keys.
• Scalability: Horizontal sharding and worker pools validated to 300–1000 concurrent guilds/devices (mixed API + optional Android runners).
• Resource Efficiency: Worker threads and pooled HTTP keep CPU low; memory caps enforced with graceful degradation under load.
• Error Handling: Exponential backoff, dead-letter queues, per-command circuit breakers, and alerting via webhooks/Slack.
