We are also announcing some new actions that are being added soon to help compliment this new action.

Send or Edit a Message Action

The new Send or Edit a Message action combines all the existing message actions (excluding the random reply action) into one and adds a new Message builder and component handling. The new action allows you to:

Construct an Advanced message using the Message Builder
Add buttons and menus using buttons on the block instead of in the blocks settings
Have either message content, or a blank message with buttons and menus.
Add buttons and menus on the same message
Use all the new Discord select menu types

Order buttons and menus onto specific rows
Order buttons and menus based on weight
Programmatically hide and show embeds using variables
Have buttons and menus and run connected actions after the message has been sent
Disable buttons and menus by default
Change the style of buttons via variables

Message Builder

This new action uses our new Message Builder. This builder allows you to fully create an advanced message utilizing all embed options and fields. This builder allows you to:

Add up to 10 embeds to a message.
Use all embed options available on Discord.
Add fields to your embeds.
Have message content and embeds on the same message.
See a preview of how your message will look.
Hide and show embeds using variables

With this new action we have added all the new select menu types added in Discord.js v14. These new menus and their options include:

Basic (Text) menu
Role menu
Channel menu
User menu
Mentionable menu

For the new menu types, all their supported default role, channel and user options are supported via dropdown and variables.

Some of these include:

The ability to add buttons and menus to the same message
The ability to order buttons and menus on a row via their weight (has variable support)
The ability to add buttons and menus to specific action rows (has variable support)
Options to hide or show buttons and menus via variables
Options to Disable a button or menu by default (has variable support)
The ability to hide a specific basic text menu option via variable

React to a Message Block

React to a message sent by another action.
React to a specific message via channel id and message id (has variable support)
Add additional reactions using variables.

Discord.js v14 Update

This new block utilises a lot of newer features only found in Discord.js v14. With this new action we have updated our backend to a new custom v14 of Discord.js. This update features a lot of breaking changes so if you find any odd bugs or interactions please report them in <#1280722662523670569>

Planned Additions to the New Message Action

We are also announcing some planned additions that will come soon once this action goes out of beta. These include:

Edit component action to edit the buttons/menus of a message after they have been sent.
JSON Editor for the Message builder
Error and Success Handles

(THESE CHANGES ARE BETA ONLY)

Moderation Module Release - Out of Beta - September 2nd, 2024

The new Moderation module is now out of beta and is available to all users.

This module is available to free and premium users.

Please remember to disable beta if you are no longer testing anything to ensure your bot is stable and fast.

Increased Beta Server Capacity - August 30th, 2024

Due to an increase in the use of the beta servers I have doubled the capacity and hardware of our beta application servers.

If you are currently on a slower beta server simply restart your bot to go onto one of the newer nodes.

Moderation Module Release [BETA] - August 27th, 2024

Today we are pleased to announce that we are releasing the new and improved Moderation module!

The module replaces the hardcoded Moderation module as we shift towards making all the BotGhost modules completely customisable. The new Moderation module has all the same functionality as the old, but includes some neat new features, such as:

A full case ID system, allowing you to track cases server wide on all users
Moderation actions like mutes, warns and bans are assigned Case ID's, which store the details of the punishment, such as reason, moderator, time, etc
Case ID's can be seen on a users moderation history and details can be viewed by looking up the case number
Automatic punishments - You can configure a punishment to happen automatically after a set criteria, such as 3 warns = automatic timeout (Limited to 1 for free users and 10 for premium users)
Temporary ban system, allowing you to ban users for a certain period of time
Temp role system, allowing administrators to apply temp roles to users
Notes - Add notes to users that only moderators and above can see
Nickname moderation
Slowmode modification
Channel lock and unlock

The new Moderation module is currently only available on BETA, which can be enabled in the Settings page of the BotGhost dashboard. BETA is only available for Premium users. NOTE: BETA servers are slower than LIVE, so please be patient if you experience any slowness or interaction timeouts on BETA

This module is available to free AND premium users, but BETA is only available to premium users. We will announce when the module is out of BETA and available for free users.

Tickets Module Rework - August 26th, 2024

Today, the Tickets module is getting a big update, coming out with a bunch of new features such as multi-panels, automations and ticket limits!

The module works with a new "panel" system. This means that you can customize each button (or select menu option) of your ticket creation message with different settings. Simply add your connected panels in the "Connected Panels" field and send your panel: this will send more panels into one single message. You can also customize the name of your ticket or setup a /ticket create command users can use. Limits are also coming to the module: set a maximum number of tickets users can have opened at once! Last but not least, you can now setup automations for your tickets, to close or delete them after some hours of inactivity!

This module is currently beta only.

Dashboard Custom Command, Event and Variable Grouping - August 26th, 2024

We have added the ability to create groups for your Custom commands, events and variables in the dashboard. These allow you to create and add groups which let you section out your commands, events and variables. This should make the dashboard much more organised and easy to read for users with lots of commands, events or variables.

Error + Success Handles out of Beta - August 22nd, 2024

The error and success handles update is now out of beta and can be used by all members.

Variable Editor in Builder - August 21st, 2024

We have added the ability to create new Custom Variables from within the Command and Event Builder. This means you can create new variables without having to go to the Data storage page.

Simply click the New Variable button at the top of the Set Variable or Run Equation on Variable action blocks. This will open a window that has the same New Variable input as the data storage page.

You must trigger a save by either saving your command/event or exiting the builder to save like normal for your new variable to be saved to your bot.

More Bug Fixes - August 20th, 2024

Fixed a bug that caused the dashboard to crash when deleting a block with the Variable Editor open.

Fixed a bug that caused the screen to go grey when deleting certain condition blocks.
Temporarily created variables from the create channel/role actions should now persist after button/menu click.

Changed the encodeText variable to use encodeURIComponent JS function (was encodeURI).

Removed the outdated command builder tutorial.

Undo + Redo Block deletion/adding in the Builder - August 16th, 2024

We have added some more key bind's to the builder.

Use Ctrl + Z to undo placing a block or connection in the builder.

Use Ctrl + Y to redo a deletion (or an undo) of a block or connection in the builder.

The builder will now also store up to 100 block deletions that will persist through saves for you to be able to Redo past deletions. This will not work on old commands/events and will only start saving your command/event's state starting from today.

Multi Delete Blocks - August 15th, 2024

We have added the ability to now also delete multiple blocks at a time on the builder.

Simply Shift Click and drag to select multiple blocks and then click either the Delete or Backspace key.

Builder Save Keybind + MacOS Keybinds - August 14th, 2024

We have just added the ability to trigger a save in the command and event builder using Ctrl + S. This will do the exact same thing as clicking the Save Command/Event button at the top.

We have also extended some keybinds so that they can be better used on Mac's. Instead of clicking CTRL for any keybind you can now use the Command key. For example, Command + C, Command + V, Command + S. You can also now click the backspace key to delete a block.

As a reminder, the list of current keybinds includes:

Ctrl/Command + C to copy a block
Ctrl/Command + V to paste a block
Ctrl/Command + S to save a command or event
Shift + Drag to select multiple blocks

Save Block Templates - August 9th, 2024

Simply hold Shift and drag select multiple elements. Then click Save as template. You can then go to the Block Templates section in the builder and drag and drop your saved blocks anywhere on the builder.

These templates are saved on your account so they can then be used on any of your other bots.

Error & Success Handles for Actions (beta) - August 8th, 2024

We have added specific error and success handles to actions that interact with the Discord API. These handles (green for success, red for error) allow you to conditionally run actions when the parent block it is connected to encounters an error.

This should allow for better error handling and logic for things such as moderation commands. To enable these handles, find the Enable Success/Error Handles at the bottom of compatible action blocks.

These are available in all actions that perform an action using the Discord API. This excludes reply actions.

This update is currently in beta only

Copy + Paste Single Blocks & Delete Key QOL Fix - August 8th, 2024

We have added new key binds to Ctrl + C to copy and Ctrl + V to paste single blocks in the builder. Blocks will go to your clipboard and can be pasted anywhere at your cursors location in the builder.

We have also changed how the Delete key works when deleting a block. Now, if you are focusing (clicked on) an input, the delete key and new copy paste key binds will not work. This should stop users from accidently deleting a block when they were intending to delete text inside the block instead.

Weather Module - July 29th, 2024

Today, we are releasing the weather module to receive statistical information about a location or city.

This module features brand new graphics and detailed information, future forecast, with many available options to configure to your measurement scales, or even change the entire design!

Upcoming Old Module Depreciations - July 17th, 2024

Within the next few weeks we will be depreciating and deactivating the OLD hard coded versions of the following modules:

Reaction Roles Leveling Stats Channels Announcements Timed Messages Twitch YouTube Autoresponder Meme Creator Search

Please note: this only applies to the OLD hard coded outdated versions of these modules, not the new version which uses custom commands and events.

No action is required on your side if you have these modules enabled they will just cease working when removed.

Thanks!

These variables and the properties they can access include:

You can use these variables to access any property (excluding the client option) of their associated Discord.js Object. Some examples:

{Guild.name}

Small update - July 4th, 2024

We have now rectified the issue where Role items were not adding the roles and were instead giving an error. This should now be resolved
Small fix to /rob bank where it was checking the holding balance instead of the bank balance
Also the Panic button was not working as intended. This has also been fixed

The role issue does not require a module update and should simply start working The fixes to /rob bank DO require a module update, which you can do the normal way by heading to the Economy and Minigames module in the dashboard and clicking Update Module.

Cocreate Rework - May 28th, 2024

We have pushed an update and total rehaul of the Cocreate module. This update aims to bring the module up to date and open it up to all users. Changes include:

Renaming the module to Collab
The module is now free for everyone to use and has no limits.
You can view both people working on your bot and the bots you have been invited to work on within the module. You can also leave any collabs you have accepted.
You can now view the last time someone saved an update on one of your bots
The module now cannot be enabled/disabled. To disable anyone working on your bot, simply remove all the collaborators of that bot.
All old cocreators have been imported into the module. Please go to the module page to check for any old cocreators you no longer want and remove them.

Object Variables - May 14th, 2024

Today we are releasing a new type of variable: Object variables. Object variables let you set key value pairs for a variable, and access them with dot notation. This is especially useful to cut down the amount of variables you have as one variable can have multiple different keys. For example: {BGVAR_user_inventory.count} {BGVAR_user_inventory.full} {BGVAR_user.name} {BGVAR_user.profile} {BGVAR_user.currency} Object variables can be channel, user and guild specific like other variables.

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.

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.

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.

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

Sticky Roles is only available for users with an active premium subscription.
