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.
- Go to lio.gg and click Sign in with Discord.
- Authorize the OAuth application — Lio needs to know which servers you manage.
- Open the Dashboard and select your server from the list.
- 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
- Dashboard → your server → Modules.
- Use the category filter or search to find a module.
- Toggle a module ON — it starts disabled by default.
- Click Configure → set required channels/roles → Save.
- 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
- Check the bot is online in the member list.
- Confirm channel permissions: Send Messages, Embed Links, View Channel at minimum.
- For Welcome: make sure the Welcome module is enabled and the bot can view the welcome channel.
- 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.
- Confirm your account has Plus or Premium (Account Settings → Subscription).
- Dashboard → Helpdesk → Settings: configure ticket mode, team, categories, and post the panel.
- Assign support roles and post the panel to a public support channel.
- 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.
