Command & Event Builder
The Custom Commands & Events modules allow you to create custom commands or run actions when something happens on your server.
The "Tree" - Actions, Options and Conditions
When you have entered the command builder, you will be able to add and connect actions to the main yellow block. These actions will make your bot take actions (such as reply, set variables or send API Requests), they run in the order they are connected, starting at the yellow base block. You can also add options to your command, they can be used to input values when using the command in Discord, they can be referred to as {option_option-name}. Conditions can be used to run different actions basing on the result of a comparison between two or more values, splitting the tree in more branches.
Connecting Blocks
Desktop / PC
Simply press and hold the top circle on the action block to start the connection line, from here you can simply drag the connection line to the connection circle on the bottom of the block you wish to connect your action to, to complete the circuit and connect the blocks together.
Mobile
Simply press the top circle on the action block to start the connection line, from here you can simply press the connection circle on the bottom of the block you wish to connect your action to, to complete the circuit and connect the blocks together.
Variables and Data storage
Variables are the first step in unlocking the ability for your bot to be better used in multi-server settings. Custom variables allow you to store data to be used by your bot through creating custom Global, Server Specific, Channel Specific or User specific variables. You can read more information about them in the Variables and Data Storage pages.
Block Labels
When adding blocks to the command/event builder, you will notice every block has a setting called 'Label'. This will change the name of the block from its default name to something of your choice, this is incredibly handy for pointing out key parts of the command/event, or if you are working with multiple Collab users.

You can now add actions, options and conditions to your command by dragging blocks from the left sidebar on the command builder and connect them together.
Options
Options are the purple in color blocks and are used for users to input values into the command, which can then be referenced anywhere within the command with the variable {option_option-name}. Options function when a command is about to be executed, which creates fields to be able to input values into. Additionally, options are automatically connected to the command when added. They are also only available in the command builder but are not required to be in the command. Check out the options page to learn more.
Subcommands
Subcommands are a great way to group your commands into small categories. You can for example use "economy" as the first word of all the commands of your economy system to group them together. To do so, simply add in the trigger the name of the "category" you want the command to be in with a space, followed by the command's name. You can have up to 25 subcommands per command.
You cannot have a command with the same name of a subcommand "category". This means that if you have two subcommands named /item add and /item remove, you cannot have a command named /item.
