Welcome to enCode!

enCode! lets you create, deploy, and manage Discord bots — no coding required. Just describe what you want your bot to do, and the AI takes care of the rest.

What can enCode! bots do?

• Slash commands — respond to /commands with custom text or embed cards
• Welcome & farewell messages — greet new members or say goodbye automatically
• Custom responses — use variables like {user}, {server}, {memberCount} in any message
• 24/7 hosting — your bot runs on enCode! servers, always online
• Live monitoring — view CPU usage, memory, and logs in real time from the dashboard

Quick Start

From zero to a live Discord bot in under 5 minutes.

Discord Setup

Before your bot can go online, you need two things from the Discord Developer Portal: the Application ID and a Bot Token. Here's exactly where to find them.

Step 1 — Create an Application

Step 2 — Create a Bot and get the Token

Step 3 — Invite the bot to your server

Once your bot is running on enCode!, go to the Invite tab in the bot's page. Paste the Application ID and click Open Invite Link. Choose a server from the dropdown and click Authorize.

Creating a Bot

The bot creation wizard walks you through three steps — choose a starting point, describe your bot, and name it.

The Creation Wizard

Step 1 — Choose a template

You can start from scratch (and describe everything yourself to the AI) or pick a pre-built template like Moderation, Welcome, or Ticket System as a foundation. Templates come pre-configured with common commands and settings that you can customize afterward.

Step 2 — Describe your bot

Write in plain language what your bot should do. Be as specific as you like:

I want a bot that welcomes new members in #welcome,
has a /rules command that shows the server rules,
and lets moderators use /warn to warn users.

The AI reads your description and generates the initial command list and configuration.

Step 3 — Name your bot

Give your bot a display name (shown on your dashboard) and a slug — a short, unique identifier like my-mod-bot. Use only lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens. The slug cannot be changed after creation.

Bot statuses

What you can do from a bot's page

• Start / Stop / Restart — control whether the bot is online
• Edit — change the bot's name and description
• Token tab — add or update your Discord bot token
• Invite tab — enter the Application ID and get the invite link
• Logs tab — see what the bot is doing in real time
• Commands tab — view the configured slash commands
• AI Chat tab — chat with the AI to modify or improve your bot
• Delete — permanently delete the bot

AI Builder

The AI understands plain language and turns your descriptions into fully configured bots. No technical knowledge needed.

Two ways to use the AI

During bot creation (Build mode)

When you create a new bot and write your description, the AI reads the whole thing and generates your bot's initial setup in one go — commands, responses, welcome messages, everything. This uses a more powerful AI model for the best results.

AI Chat (on any bot)

Once your bot is created, you can keep talking to the AI from the AI Chat tab in your bot's page. Ask it to add commands, change a response, explain what a setting does, or troubleshoot a problem. The conversation is saved in your browser so you can come back to it later.

How many AI requests do I have?

Your remaining requests are shown as a progress bar on the dashboard and the Billing page.

Tips for better AI results

• Be specific about command names: "a /stats command that shows total messages" works better than "a stats command"
• Describe the response format: "reply with an embed card showing the info in blue"
• Mention who can use a command: "only users with the Moderator role can use /ban"
• Describe events clearly: "when someone joins, send a welcome message in #general mentioning their name"
• Use the Chat tab to iterate: "the welcome message is missing the server name, can you add it?"

Commands & Events

Your bot can respond to slash commands typed by users and automatically react to server events like members joining or leaving.

Slash Commands

Slash commands appear in Discord when users type /. When a user runs one of your bot's commands, the bot sends a response in the channel.

Each command has:

• Name — what users type, e.g. /help
• Description — shown in Discord's autocomplete menu
• Response — the text or embed the bot replies with
• Ephemeral — if on, only the person who used the command can see the reply

Response Variables

Use these placeholders anywhere in a command response or event message. enCode! replaces them automatically with the real values:

Example

Welcome {user} to **{server}**! 🎉
You are member number **{memberCount}**. Enjoy your stay!

Events

Events fire automatically — no user needs to type anything. You can configure them by asking the AI in the Chat tab.

Welcome message

Sends a message to a specific channel whenever a new member joins your server. Supports all variables above. Great for greeting new members and pointing them to the rules.

Farewell message

Sends a message when a member leaves the server. Useful for logging departures in a staff channel.

Command limits

Start, Stop & Logs

enCode! hosts your bot on its own servers. You control it with the Start, Stop, and Restart buttons in the dashboard.

Starting your bot

Your bot needs a Discord token before it can start. If you haven't added one yet, go to the Token tab first.

Once a token is set, click Start. The bot will connect to Discord within a few seconds and its status will change to RUNNING.

Live stats

While your bot is running, the Overview tab shows live performance stats that refresh every 10 seconds:

• CPU — how much processing power the bot is using
• Memory — RAM used vs the limit for your plan
• Commands — number of configured slash commands

Viewing logs

The Logs tab shows the last 100 lines of output from your bot — what it's doing, any errors it encountered, and when users used commands. Click Refresh to see the latest entries.

Resource limits by plan

Common issues

Commands not showing in Discord

Slash commands can take up to 1 hour to appear globally in Discord after registration. For faster results, make sure your bot is in the server before you start it.

Bot keeps crashing

Check the Logs tab for error messages. Common fixes:

• Regenerate the token in the Discord Developer Portal and update it in the Token tab
• Make sure Server Members Intent is enabled in the Developer Portal (needed for welcome/farewell events)
• Try stopping the bot, waiting 10 seconds, then starting again

Templates

Templates are ready-made bot configurations you can deploy in one click from the Marketplace. Available on Premium.

Available templates

How to use a template

Plans & Billing

enCode! has a free tier that lets you get started immediately, and a Premium plan that unlocks more bots, more AI usage, templates, and team features.

How to upgrade

Cancelling Premium

You can cancel anytime. Your Premium features stay active until the end of the current billing month. After that, your account automatically returns to the Free plan — your bots and data are not deleted.

AI request quota

Your daily AI quota resets at midnight UTC. Both build requests (creating a bot) and chat messages count toward the limit. You can see how many you've used today in the dashboard overview and in the Billing page.

Settings

Manage your account profile and active login sessions from the Settings page in the dashboard.

Your Profile

Your profile is pulled automatically from Discord when you sign in. It includes your username, avatar, and Discord ID. These update automatically the next time you log in.

Your email address (if you have one set on Discord) is shown but not used for notifications at this time.

Active Sessions

The Settings page shows all devices and browsers where you're currently logged in. Each session shows:

• Browser / device — identified by the user agent string
• IP address — the IP that was used when the session was created
• Last active — when the session was last used

Click Revoke next to any session to log it out immediately. This is useful if you think your account was accessed from an unknown device.

Signing out

Click Sign out at the bottom of the Settings page. This logs out your current session only. To log out all devices, revoke all sessions individually and then sign out.
