Discord
Link a server once and TRAX posts your events, DMs your invitations and reminders, and lets people accept without opening a browser.
Two separate links
| Your account | Your guild | |
|---|---|---|
| Set up in | Profile → Discord Account | Guild → Manage → Integrations |
| Needs | Nothing special | Guild edit rights, and permission to add a bot to the Discord server |
| Gives you | Direct messages: invitations, reminders, decisions, renown — and the buttons in them | Channel posts: events, applications, member changes, the weekly digest |
They are independent. Link your account even if you never run a guild — that is what makes you reachable.
Linking your account
Either sign up with Continue with Discord, or go to Profile → Discord Account and press Link Discord Account. Once linked you get Change and Unlink. A Discord account can only be attached to one TRAX account at a time.
Linking a guild's server
-
Go to Guild → Manage → Integrations and press Link Discord Server.
-
Discord asks which server to add the bot to. Pick it and authorise. You need permission to add bots to that server.
-
You land back in TRAX with Select Discord Channel open — Select a text channel where event notifications will be posted.
-
Choose a channel and press Link Channel.
The panel then shows the server avatar, its name and ✓ Connected, with an Unlink button.
Empty channel list? No text channels found in this server means the bot cannot see any channels. Check its role permissions in Discord and try again.
What gets posted to the channel
- Events created, updated and cancelled, with participation buttons on the message.
- Thread notes as an event progresses: starting, full, roster joins and leaves, slots reopening, ended.
- Recurring schedules created, updated or cancelled — edited in place, not reposted.
- New applications.
- Member lifecycle: joined, left, roles assigned or removed; announcement updates.
- Auto-match summaries — which characters matched, which events were created.
- Renown summaries after an event is processed.
- A weekly digest every Monday morning covering the previous week: events run, renown awarded, new members, new characters, announcements.
What arrives as a direct message
- Event invitations, including ones generated by auto-match.
- Guild invitations.
- Event reminders — one hour and five minutes before the start.
- Your application's decision.
- Renown: Renown Earned after an event, Renown Awarded for a manual adjustment.
Buttons
Invitation DMs carry Accept and Decline; reminder DMs carry a cancel button. Pressing one does the real thing in TRAX immediately.
Once an invitation is settled, its DM is rewritten in place with the outcome — accepted ✅, declined ❌, revoked 🚫 — and the buttons are removed, so an old message in your inbox can never be answered twice.
Slash commands
Everything sits under /trax:
| Command | Does |
|---|---|
/trax events | List upcoming events. |
/trax event | Show one event and its roster. |
/trax join / /trax leave |
Join or leave an event. |
/trax invitations | Your pending invitations. |
/trax lfg | Declare Looking For Group. |
/trax apply | Apply to a guild. |
/trax group | Guild info. |
/trax renown | Renown standings. |
/trax link | Link your Discord to a TRAX account. |
Which language Discord speaks
Three settings, deliberately independent:
| Message | Language comes from |
|---|---|
| Direct messages to you | Your own language, set via the sidebar cog. |
| Guild channel posts and thread notes | The guild's Discord language, in Manage → Integrations. |
| Replies when you press a button | Your Discord client's own language. |
So a French guild can post in French while still DMing its Spanish-speaking members in Spanish.
