Dashboard Saving Optimizations & Builder Input Improvements - March 1st, 2024
Saving Optimization We have changed the way bots are saved through the dashboard. This fix is aimed at larger bots which had problems saving due to the size of larger commands and events. If you had problems saving your bot in the past please log into the dashboard and force a save to reduce the size of your bot. Overall this change should make saving faster for all users. Variable Editor on all Inputs The variable editor clipboard has been added to all inputs that support it in the builder. This should make it much easier to use variables and options in all actions/conditions.
New Premium Module: Emoji Manager - February 25th, 2024
We are releasing a new server management module, that will help you manage emojis in your server. The module allows you to create new emojis, copy existing emojis from other servers to yours and restrict certain emojis to selected roles.
You're also able to configure role- and permission-based access, and customise the visual settings of certain commands. The key features of the module are copying emojis and restricting them to roles, as that's not available as a feature in the regular client. This new module is now available for all premium users.
Module Rewords: Translation and Autoresponder - February 23rd, 2024
We want to ensure that our users have the best experience with modules, while also being able to customise them to their liking. This is why we revamped both the Translation and Autoresponder modules, which are available now. The Translation module now uses DeepL as the main source, we've chosen this service due to it providing reliable translations. In addition, users will now need to use their own DeepL key for the module, with an option of 500.000 characters translated / month, free of charge. Please check the docs for steps on how to get a key. This rework is only available for premium users. The Autoresponder module now offers more options, such as channel cooldowns and choosing whether the user should be mentioned or not. This rework can be accessed by both free and premium users. Reword Modules:
Voice Actions - February 22nd, 2024
We are releasing 6 new voice related actions to the beta server. These action blocks are:
Join a Voice Channel
Leave a Voice Channel

Mute or Unmute a Member
Deafen or Undeafen a Member
Welcomer Module Rework - February 21st, 2024
In order to make our modules list cleaner, as well as our features to be simpler to find, we have merged the Announcements, Welcome Banners and Auto-Role modules into a single one named Welcomer!
The module offers all features of older modules, which have been reorganized and improved. Along these features, you can now send a message when a user gets kicked from the server. You will now also be able to add up to 5 custom reactions to all join, leave, kick and ban messages. All options can be enabled or disabled, basing on your needs. Check out the new module here!

5 Reworked Modules - February 12th - 2024
As we want to ensure the upmost stability, reliability and high level of customisability of our modules, we have reworked 5 old hard-coded modules: Twitch, YouTube, Statistic Channels, Timed Messages and the Active Developer Badge modules. These newer versions of the modules provide more options for you to customise, and can also be edited to your exact preferences thanks to the custom module system. To also ensure the Twitch and YouTube modules stay reliable, you'll need to provide your own API keys from now on. The creation of keys is free of charge at both providers, and we've put together documentation to guide you though the process. If you get stuck while setting up any of the modules, please always check the documentations linked below.
Reworked Modules:
Upcoming Custom Module Changes - February 10th, 2024
Data usage removed from Custom Modules Today we are announcing some upcoming changes to the way custom modules work on BotGhost. Previously, custom modules built with commands and events used data storage and custom variables in their operation. This means that free users quickly used up all their data storage for the month just by using custom modules. Today we are removing custom modules from the data storage system, meaning all custom module commands/events will no longer use data storage. This should simplify how the new modules work and keep custom commands, events and data storage separate from the BotGhost modules.
Custom Module Classification changes Due to custom modules no longer being restricted by data storage for free users, we are changing a number of our custom modules to premium for new users. This change will not take effect today and any users who currently have the 'free' version of these modules will not be effected as long as they do not update the module. The current modules being changed are:
Counting: (Free ▶️ Premium) ChatGPT: (Free ▶️ Premium) Image Generation: (Free ▶️ Premium) Modmail: (Free ▶️ Premium) Welcome Banners: Moved into Welcomer [Locked features] Verification: (Free ▶️ Premium) Sticky Messages: (Free ▶️ Premium) Discord Automod: (Free ▶️ Premium) Auto-react: (Free ▶️ Premium) Reaction Roles: Unchanged Starboard: (Free ▶️ Premium) Global Chat: Unchanged Roblox Verification: Unchanged Leveling Leveling
Level Card: (Free ▶️ Premium)
Voice EXP: (Free ▶️ Premium)
Polls: (Free ▶️ Premium) Temp Voice Channels: Unchanged Media Channels: Unchanged Invite Tracker: (Free ▶️ Premium) Suggestions: Unchanged Sticky Roles: Unchanged QOTD: Unchanged These changes will take effect from 12th of February for new users. All free users who do not update their modules after this date will keep the free version of these modules.
New Modules Over the next few days we will also be releasing a whole bunch of new custom modules replacing a number of the old outdated hard coded modules. Modules that were free will mostly remain free (Moderation, economy, Automod etc) in the future.
TLDR:
Custom modules don't use data storage anymore
Due to that a number of modules are going premium for new users
If you are a free user don't update these modules and you wont be effected
New custom modules coming out soon to replace old outdated broken hard coded modules.

New Premium Module: Question of The Day - January 30th, 2024
A new module that asks daily questions from your server members automatically has been released, with the intention of improving your server retention rates in a fun way. The bot will ask a question every 24 hours, and create a thread for your users to send replies.
While the module comes with pre-written questions by default that don't require any setup, you also may choose to add your own questions. Additionally, you can customise the daily message, set up various thread settings, make sending answers private and you can select roles to ping for the daily message.
This module is now available for all premium users.
New Premium Module: Sticky Roles - January 9th, 2024
We have developed a new module, that allows you to save the roles of members if they leave, and give them back once they rejoin.
The module can be customized in a few ways, you can choose not to save roles of the user was kicked or banned, you can whitelist or blacklist roles to save, and you can set up a custom direct message, with a list of roles that the user got back that is sent once they rejoin.
Sticky Roles is only available for users with an active premium subscription.
