Set up a ticket system with transcripts

Create a private support ticket system in Discord: a ticket category, a support role, a button panel and transcripts saved to a log channel.

Updated

Tickets give each support request its own private channel, so conversations don't get lost in a busy chat and personal details stay out of public view.

What you need

  • A category for ticket channels, e.g. "Support Tickets"
  • A support role for the people who answer tickets
  • Optionally a private log channel for transcripts

Setup

  1. Run /ticket setup with category, support_role and optionally log_channel.
  2. Go to your public help channel and run /ticket panel with that channel. Give it a title and description that tell people when to open a ticket.
  3. Optional: /ticket welcome sets the first message inside every new ticket.

A good welcome message asks for what you always end up asking: what happened, screenshots, and the user ID of anyone involved.

During a ticket

When a ticket is closed, its transcript is sent to the log channel you chose.

Note: Discord allows 50 channels per category. For very busy servers, close finished tickets promptly.
