Support Inbox Panel

The Support Inbox Panel is the staff workspace for cases and case panels. It lives in the dashboard sidebar and has a Discord-side equivalent at /support panel. From here, staff build and edit the member-facing case panels they publish to channels and run actions against the cases that get opened.

The staff control surface for cases. Use it from the dashboard, or run /support panel in Discord for the same surface inline. From here you build the case panels members actually click in their channels, and you run actions against every open case.

What is this?

A dashboard panel that lets staff build, edit, and operate the case system. From here you design the Discord-side panel embeds (title, description, buttons, optional form fields), publish them to a channel, and manage the cases that get opened against them. Each case lands as a private channel under the Support Inbox category.

Why you might want it

Members shouldn't need to DM staff or ping a busy support role for help. A panel embeds a fixed set of case types (Bug Report, Player Report, Ban Appeal, General Support, anything you want) into a Discord channel. One click opens a case channel with transcripts, claim, comment, and close already wired up. Staff get a single inbox; members get a clear front door.

Setup time: five to ten minutes for a first panelDifficulty: Easy. Most users get through it first try.

How it appears in Discord

Staff with the panel_tickets capability can run /support panel in Discord to open the ephemeral staff panel below. This is the Discord-side equivalent of the dashboard panel. Every action you can take from the dashboard is also available here. Members never see this panel; only the staff member who ran the command does.

The published case panel that members actually click in their channel is a separate artifact built from Panel Management → Create Support Panel above (or from the dashboard). See Creating a Panel.

Where it lives in the dashboard

On the dashboard the Support Inbox Panel sits in the Panels section of the left sidebar, between Rule Enforcement Panel and Moderation Panel.

How to open this panel

From the dashboard

Pick your server in the dashboard sidebar, then click Panels → Support Inbox Panel. The list view shows every panel you have published (or saved as draft) for this server, plus a panel of action buttons for the cases currently open.

From Discord

Staff with the panel_tickets capability can run /support panel to open the inline action panel for cases. Members never run this command; they only interact with the panel embeds you have already published to a channel.

ℹ️
Note
The dashboard panel and the Discord-side panel embeds are two different things sharing the word “panel.” The dashboard panel is the staff workspace; the Discord panel embeds are the members-facing buttons. See the glossary if this is the first time you've hit the overload.

What you can do from here

Create a new panel

Pick a channel, design the embed (title, description, color, footer), add one or more buttons, and publish. See Creating a Panel.

Edit an existing panel

Change embed copy, add or remove buttons, edit form fields, or republish. See Editing Panels & Buttons.

Run case actions

Claim, comment, close, add participants, transfer to another case type. See Managing Cases.

Configure the Support Inbox category

Pick the parent category that case channels are created under, configure transcripts, and set staff notifications. See Support Inbox.

Set case-channel naming rules

Per-button counters and configurable channel-name prefixes for new cases. See Case Naming.

Handle ban appeals

Let banned members appeal with structured form responses, staff Approve / Reject / Pending decisions, and an audit trail. See Appeals.

Who can use this panel

Like every action in Arkanis, the Support Inbox Panel is capability-gated. Server owners decide which staff roles get which keys.

  • panel_tickets — unlocks the dashboard panel and the Discord /support panel command.
  • tickets_manage — create, edit, and publish panel embeds and buttons.
  • tickets_act — claim, comment on, and close cases as a staff member.

Members never need any of these. Members interact with case panels by clicking a button; opening a case requires no capability beyond being in your server.

See Roles & Permissions for how to assign capabilities to staff roles, and View as Role for previewing what a given role can do without changing your own access.
