AutoMod Panel

Arkanis AutoMod is the dashboard rule engine that scans messages and reacts in real time. Unlike the other panels, AutoMod is dashboard-only — there is no /automod panel slash command. Rules fire automatically from message events.

The dashboard rule engine. Every rule pairs a trigger (word filter, regex, mention spam, etc.) with an action (delete, warn, mute, strike, ban). AutoMod evaluates every message and every content edit; matches go to the Event Log. Dashboard-only; AutoMod doesn't expose a Discord slash-command panel.

What is this?

The dashboard surface for AutoMod rules. From here you create, edit, enable, disable, and simulate rules. Each rule has a trigger and an action; both are configured inline with live previews. Free guilds can create up to 3 rules; Pro is unlimited.

Why you might want it

If you spend any time deleting obvious spam, link bombs, slur attacks, or repeated emoji walls by hand, AutoMod hands that work back to you. Three rules cover most servers: a word filter for slurs, an invite filter for raid recruitment, and a spam detection rule for message-rate floods.

Setup time: about a minute per ruleDifficulty: Easy. Most users get through it first try.

How it appears in Discord

ℹ️
Note
AutoMod is dashboard-only. There is no /automod panel slash command. Rules execute on the bot side automatically when a message is sent or edited, and matches surface in the Event Log channel you configure. To create or change a rule you go through the dashboard.

What members and moderators do see in Discord is the action a rule takes: the message gets deleted, a warning DM lands, a mute role is applied, a strike is issued, or a ban is recorded. Each of those follows the standard surface for that action type — see AutoMod Actions.

Where it lives in the dashboard

AutoMod lives under Data → Arkanis AutoMod, not under the Panels section. The Panels section contains staff control surfaces with Discord-side mirrors; AutoMod is a configuration surface with no Discord-side panel.

How to open this panel

From the dashboard

Pick your server, then click Data → Arkanis AutoMod. The page lists every rule with status (Enabled / Disabled), trigger type, action, mode, and recent-match count. An empty state prompts you to create your first rule.

From Discord

Not applicable. AutoMod has no Discord slash-command panel.

What you can do from here

Pick a trigger type

Each trigger has its own deep-dive page. See the overview for the full menu (Word, Regex, Spam, Mention, Caps, Emoji, Duplicate, Link, Invite, Attachment).

Pick an action

Delete, warn, mute, strike, or ban. Free tier only allows delete; warn / mute / strike / ban require Pro so AutoMod can drive real enforcement. See Actions.

Simulate before going live

Every rule has a simulator. Paste a positive sample and a negative sample, confirm both behave correctly, then flip from Log Only to Live. See AutoMod Rules.

Watch matches in the Event Log

Every match writes a row with rule name, matched pattern, action taken, and the offending user. Tune patterns from real matches rather than guessing.

Set exemptions

Per-rule exempt channels and exempt roles. Useful for letting staff bypass an invite filter when posting partner invites, or excluding a screenshot channel from word filters.

Lift the 3-rule cap

Free guilds are capped at 3 rules. Pro lifts the cap entirely. See Billing if you need more.
