Getting Started

From zero to a configured Lio server in a few minutes.

1. Sign in and invite Lio

You need Manage Server on the Discord server to configure modules — or be added as a trusted administrator in Settings.

  1. Go to lio.gg and click Sign in with Discord.
  2. Authorize the OAuth application — Lio needs to know which servers you manage.
  3. Open the Dashboard and select your server from the list.
  4. If Lio is not on the server yet, use the invite link in the dashboard sidebar (+ button) or on the landing page.

2. Enable your first modules

  1. Dashboard → your server → Modules.
  2. Use the category filter or search to find a module.
  3. Toggle a module ON — it starts disabled by default.
  4. Click Configure → set required channels/roles → Save.
  5. Roleplay features (Events, Service IDs, Warehouse, Absences) live under Dashboard → Roleplay.
Tip

Enable one module at a time while testing. That makes it obvious which setting caused an issue.

3. Verify in Discord

  1. Check the bot is online in the member list.
  2. Confirm channel permissions: Send Messages, Embed Links, View Channel at minimum.
  3. For Welcome: make sure the Welcome module is enabled and the bot can view the welcome channel.
  4. Post a test message or trigger the module (e.g. join with an alt) to confirm behavior.

4. Bot language (optional)

Dashboard → Settings → Bot language sets the locale for bot responses on that server.

Some public panels (Suggestions, Voice Hubs) always use English for consistency.

Website language is separate — use the flag selector in the navbar.

5. Helpdesk (Plus)

Helpdesk is documented in its own guide — see Helpdesk in the sidebar under Support. It does not appear under Modules.

  1. Confirm your account has Plus or Premium (Account Settings → Subscription).
  2. Dashboard → Helpdesk → Settings: configure ticket mode, team, categories, and post the panel.
  3. Assign support roles and post the panel to a public support channel.
  4. Use Settings anytime later to change categories, automation, or repost the panel.
Tip

You can run the basic Tickets module and Helpdesk on the same server; use different channels to avoid duplicate panels.
