    Automations, Server Networks and six more features

    Eight new features: Automations that act when something happens in your server, Server Networks that share bans and roles between servers you trust, roles for your Twitch and Kick supporters, streamers and boosters, a solved workflow for help forums, event RSVPs and reminders, and roles members claim with their Kovu level.

    • Automations
    • Server Networks
    • Supporter Roles
    • Forum Helper
    • Booster Perks
    • Go-live Role
    • Events
    • Levels

    In this release

    • Supporter Roles Your Twitch VIPs and your Twitch and Kick subscribers get a Discord role automatically once they link their account on kovu.gg.
    • Forum Helper A solved workflow for your help forums: the person who asked marks their post answered, and Kovu tags it, archives it and thanks whoever helped.
    • Booster Perks Every member who boosts your server gets a role of their own to name and color, with an icon from boost level 2.
    • Go-live Role Members get a role while they stream on Twitch or Kick, so your streamers stand out, and Kovu can post a line when they go live.
    • Events Kovu announces the events you create in Discord, takes RSVPs, reminds members before the start and posts how many came.
    • Linked Roles Your roles can ask for a Kovu level, XP, rep or achievements under Discord’s own Links, and members who qualify claim them themselves.
    • Server Networks Servers you trust share bans, case lookups and roles, with a trail of who banned whom, where and why.
    • Automations When something happens in your server, Kovu checks your conditions, then gives roles, sends messages, posts to your own webhook and more.
    • Server folders The dashboard’s server rail is now yours to arrange, like Discord’s: drag servers into the order you want and drop one onto another to make a folder, with a name and a color.

    Manage autoresponders from Discord

    Managers can now add, remove and list simple autoresponders with ?ar, without opening the dashboard. Channels, roles, cooldowns, reactions and embeds stay on the dashboard’s Autoresponder page.

    • Autoresponder

    New

    • ?ar add <trigger> <response> adds an autoresponder: Kovu replies with the response when the trigger appears in a message as a word. Put a phrase in "double quotes", add --match exact, wildcard or regex to match another way, and --case to match capitalization.
    • ?ar remove <trigger> deletes the autoresponder with that trigger, and ?ar remove #2 deletes the second one in ?ar list. When several share a trigger, Kovu deletes none and lists them with their numbers.
    • ?ar list shows the server’s autoresponders, numbered in dashboard order, with how each one matches, which ones are off and the start of each reply.
    • ?ar + kovu Hello! and ?ar - kovu work too, as short forms of add and remove.

    How to use it

    Add an autoresponder from Discord

    Where: ?ar in Discord

    1. Turn on Autoresponder in the dashboard’s module list.
    2. Type ?ar add kovu Hello there! in any channel.
    3. For a phrase, put it in double quotes: ?ar add "good morning" Morning!
    4. To reply only when the whole message is the trigger, add --match exact: ?ar add rules --match exact Read #rules first.
    5. Type ?ar list to see them all, and ?ar remove kovu to delete one.

    Tip: Use your server’s prefix if it isn’t ?. Set channels, roles, cooldowns, reactions and embeds on the dashboard’s Autoresponder page.

    Kovu can react first on starboards

    A starboard can now ask Kovu to react to each new message with the board emoji, so members star with one click, even in servers where they can’t add reactions.

    • Starboard
    • Autoresponder
    • Sticky Messages
    • Bot

    New

    • Kovu reacts first, in a board’s Advanced settings: Kovu adds the board emoji to each new message in the channels the board watches, and skips ignored channels and messages the board would never post. Clicking an existing reaction needs no Add Reactions permission.
    • Kovu’s own reaction never counts as a star. With no watched channels picked, Kovu reacts in every channel, and the settings page says so.

    Fixed

    • Reacting with the ⭐ that most emoji pickers produce failed without a word, so autoresponders that reacted with it added nothing. Kovu now sends it the way Discord accepts, and the Error log says when Discord refuses an emoji.
    • /sticky no longer asks for Manage Messages: Kovu only ever deletes its own previous copy.
    • Commands no longer ask for permissions they don’t use, and when Kovu is missing one, its reply names the permission to allow.

    How to use it

    Let Kovu react first

    Where: Dashboard, Starboard, Board, Which messages

    1. Switch the dashboard to Advanced at the foot of the module list.
    2. Open Starboard and find Which messages under Board.
    3. Turn on Kovu reacts first.
    4. Pick channels in Only watch these channels, or leave it empty and Kovu reacts in every channel.
    5. Save changes.

    Tip: Kovu needs Add Reactions in the watched channels. Your members don’t.

    See who entered a giveaway

    The dashboard now lists everyone who entered a giveaway, lets you remove an entrant, and can draw a replacement for a winner without rerolling the others.

    • Giveaways
    • Dashboard
    • Bot

    New

    • View entrants on a giveaway (or click its entrant count) lists who entered, in the order they entered, with their entries and bonuses, the current winners and anyone drawn before. Filter it by name, and Load more shows the next 50.
    • Remove an entrant from a running or ended giveaway. Removing a winner of an ended giveaway takes them off the giveaway message and can draw one replacement from the members who haven’t won, keeping the other winners.
    • Draw replacement winners on an ended giveaway adds new winners and keeps the current ones. Reroll winners still replaces them all.

    Improved

    • After entering a giveaway, members are told they can press Enter again to see their entries or leave.

    Fixed

    • Slow commands show “Kovu is thinking…” in time, instead of Discord’s “The application did not respond”.

    How to use it

    See who entered and replace a winner

    Where: Dashboard, Giveaways

    1. Open Giveaways and find the giveaway in the list.
    2. Choose View entrants in its actions menu, or click its entrant count.
    3. Filter by name to find a member, then choose Remove.
    4. For a winner of an ended giveaway, choose Remove and draw a replacement to keep the other winners.

    Tip: Draw replacement winners… adds winners and keeps the current ones. Reroll winners… replaces them all.

    Messages built from blocks, a giveaway staff panel and RSS feeds

    Every message you write for Kovu can now be built from blocks, and Kovu’s own messages use Discord’s newer layout for apps. Giveaways can keep a staff panel with a Start a giveaway button, and Kovu’s changelog and status page have RSS feeds.

    • Messages
    • Message Embedder
    • Giveaways
    • Feeds
    • Polls

    New

    • The message designer: welcome, leave and level-up messages, custom commands, autoresponders, tags, sticky and auto messages, feeds, giveaways, ticket and reaction role panels, forms, verification, message overrides and the Message Embedder all open in it. Stack text, cards with a colored bar, text with a thumbnail or a button beside it, image galleries, separators and link buttons, and use variables in every one.
    • Put a module’s own parts where you want them: a ticket panel’s buttons, a reaction role menu’s roles, or the welcome card inside the card or under it.
    • The Message Embedder reads messages in the new layout, from pasted JSON or a message link, and can put your action buttons beside text.
    • The Giveaways staff panel: pick a panel channel and Kovu posts a Start a giveaway button. Its form asks for the prize, how long it runs, how many members win, a description and an image link, and the giveaway starts the same way /giveaway start starts one. Only giveaway editors, managers and the server owner can use it.
    • RSS feeds for the changelog (kovu.gg/changelog.rss, also as Atom at kovu.gg/changelog.atom) and for incidents on the status page (status.kovu.gg/feed.xml). Paste kovu.gg/changelog or status.kovu.gg into a new RSS feed and Kovu finds the feed for you.

    Improved

    • Kovu’s own replies, panels, logs and DMs use the new layout, with the same colors and words. Replies that are only text stay plain, so links keep their previews, and native polls work as before.
    • Messages you saved before keep their classic look until you switch them to blocks. The designer shows the message before and after, and lists anything that would look different first.
    • The preview counts components and text as you edit, and says whether a message goes out in the new layout or as a plain message.
    • Server templates, message kits and settings exports keep each message’s layout.
    • Post and Repost on the Giveaways settings page refresh the staff panel or move it to the bottom of its channel. AI assistants and the API can post it too.
    • RSS feeds keep the links in a post’s text, shorten a long post without cutting a link in half, and give each new post a Read more button that opens it.

    Fixed

    • A ✅ or ❌ from some emoji pickers made polls, reactions and buttons fail. Kovu now sends them the way Discord knows them.
    • When Discord refuses a poll, Kovu says why, like which answer’s emoji it didn’t take, instead of “That didn’t work”.
    • An RSS post published days after its date is no longer skipped.
    • Test welcome and Action Log messages sent from the dashboard look exactly like the real ones.
    • The classic embed preview shows the thumbnail top right, as Discord does.

    How to use it

    Build a message from blocks

    Where: Dashboard, Welcome & Leave, Welcome message

    1. Open the message you want to design, like the welcome message.
    2. Choose Add block and pick Text, Card, Images, Separator or Buttons.
    3. Write in each block and move blocks up or down until the preview looks right.
    4. Use Kovu’s own parts to place a module’s buttons or the welcome card.
    5. Save changes.

    Tip: A message you saved before keeps its classic look until you switch it to blocks, and the designer shows it before and after first.

    Read the guide

    Start giveaways from a button

    Where: Dashboard, Giveaways, Staff panel

    1. Pick a Panel channel, ideally one only your staff can see.
    2. Save changes: Kovu posts the panel with a Start a giveaway button.
    3. Press Start a giveaway in Discord, fill in the form and send it.
    4. Choose Repost to move the panel back to the bottom of its channel.

    Tip: Only giveaway editors, managers and the server owner can use the button.

    Read the guide

    Post Kovu’s changelog in your server

    Where: Dashboard, Feeds

    1. Open Feeds and choose New feed.
    2. Pick RSS / Podcast as the platform.
    3. Paste kovu.gg/changelog, or status.kovu.gg for incidents, and pick a channel.
    4. Choose Create feed. New posts arrive with a Read more button.

    Tip: Kovu also posts its release notes in the updates channel you pick in Bot Settings.

    A new dashboard, and members can opt out from Discord

    The dashboard is built around your servers now: a server rail, a module list in five groups, and an overview that shows what needs you and what changed. Members can stop a server’s modmail messages and leave its leaderboards from Discord. Kovu is free right now. Paid tiers will come later, and nothing is priced yet.

    • Dashboard
    • Modmail
    • Levels
    • Reputation
    • Feeds

    New

    • A server rail on the left switches servers in one click and shows how each one is doing. Next to it, the module list puts every module in five groups: Protect, Welcome, Engage, Utilities and Platform, with the modules that are off folded away.
    • The server picker starts with Where you left off, the pages you opened last, and lists every server with what Kovu is doing there right now.
    • Each server opens on an overview: Needs you lists what to fix, What changed shows recent changes with Undo on the ones made in the dashboard, This week counts cases, tickets and activity, and Modules on shows what is running.
    • Keyboard shortcuts: / filters the modules, ⌘K or Ctrl+K searches, Alt+1 to 9 switches servers, [ hides the module list, j and k move between sections, and ? lists them all.
    • Members can stop a server’s modmail messages with /modmail stop (and allow them again with /modmail allow), and leave the XP and rep leaderboards with /leaderboard hide or /rep hide.
    • Comparison pages for Sapphire, Carl-bot, YAGPDB, Wick, Tatsu and Arcane, next to the Dyno and MEE6 ones, at kovu.gg/compare.
    • TikTok feeds: follow any public TikTok account in Feeds, through Kovu’s own bridge. TikTok sometimes blocks it, so a post can arrive late.

    Improved

    • Settings pages show each setting as one row with its control beside it, and On this page jumps to any section. Simple and Advanced sit at the foot of the module list, and Templates and Developer & AI open inside the same dashboard.
    • Prefer the old layout? Choose Use the classic dashboard in the account menu, and Use the new dashboard to come back.
    • Your member pages and the public pages (leaderboards, server pages, appeals, forms, verification and transcripts) now work like the dashboard.
    • Claude, ChatGPT and other AI apps connected to Kovu can now see what needs you in a server, read everything that changed there, undo a change made on the dashboard and apply your server templates, each after a preview.
    • Every DM Kovu sends for a server’s staff now says who sent it and how to stop it.
    • The XP leaderboard command is now /leaderboard view, with /leaderboard hide and /leaderboard show next to it. The prefix command works as before.

    Fixed

    • Dashboard pages could hang while loading: a canceled request to Discord no longer holds up the requests after it.
    • The error page no longer shows technical details.
    • Keyboard focus is visible on every button, link and field.
    • Reaction role menus and other settings Kovu sets up in Discord after you save now try again when the database is briefly busy, instead of staying out of sync.

    How to use it

    Get around the new dashboard

    Where: Dashboard

    1. Pick a server in the rail on the left, or press Alt+1 to 9.
    2. Start on its overview: fix what Needs you lists, and undo a change from What changed.
    3. Press ⌘K or Ctrl+K to search every setting, or / to filter the module list.
    4. Press ? to see every shortcut.

    Tip: Use the classic dashboard, in the account menu, brings the old layout back.

    Stop modmail messages or leave a leaderboard

    Where: /modmail, /leaderboard and /rep in Discord

    1. Run /modmail stop to stop a server’s modmail messages. It works in DMs with Kovu too.
    2. Run /modmail allow to get them again.
    3. Run /leaderboard hide to leave the XP leaderboard, and /leaderboard show to come back.
    4. Run /rep hide to leave the rep leaderboard, and /rep show to come back.

    Tip: Every staff DM from Kovu says how to stop them.

    Case evidence, mass moderation, reports and more

    Cases now keep their evidence, moderators can deal with a whole raid at once, and members can report messages to your team. Messages, welcome, roles, logging, feeds and appeals all grew, and members can add Kovu to their own account.

    • Moderation
    • Automod
    • Welcome & Leave
    • Action Log
    • Appeals

    New

    • Case evidence: a case keeps the member’s recent and just-deleted messages, plus proof you add with /case proof. Reply to a message with ?warn, or use Punish… on it, and that message becomes the proof.
    • Predefined reasons with short aliases, a review form before punishing, immune roles per punishment, and DMs for bans and timeouts done outside Kovu.
    • /mass bans, kicks, mutes or warns a list of members, everyone whose name matches, or everyone who joined in a time window. You see who it hits before you confirm.
    • Report to moderators on messages and members, with Accept, Ignore and Block buttons. Linked servers can also see each other’s cases, read-only, once both agree.
    • Messages: change the wording of almost any Kovu reply, with embeds and buttons, and share your wording with other servers as a kit.
    • Embedder templates can be sent through a webhook, scheduled, used by the autoresponder and sticky messages, and carry buttons and menus that give roles, send templates or move members.
    • Reputation with /rep, a bump reminder for Disboard and Discadia, and a daily, weekly or monthly server digest.
    • Auto threads, auto publish for announcement channels, a pin archive, and role connections that give a role while members have certain others.
    • Members can add Kovu to their own Discord account and use /fun, /search, /remind, /poll create and parts of /info and /utility anywhere.
    • Dashboard access per module for the roles and members you choose, and an error log that says what Discord refused and how to fix it.

    Improved

    • Welcome & Leave: boost and role messages, random messages, send and delete delays, and a card designer with layers.
    • Automod: word groups, word list imports, report and reaction actions, extra actions for Discord’s AutoMod, join guard rules and nickname cleanup.
    • Action log: 45 more log types and a channel per group. Feeds: live stream updates, publishing to followers and YouTube scheduled streams.
    • Appeals: up to 10 forms for bans, mutes and warnings, forum posts or threads per appeal, blocks after a rejection, and a conversation with the member.
    • Autoroles can sync to existing members, reaction roles get blocked roles and a reversed mode, and Bot Settings picks how dates and durations read.

    How to use it

    Attach proof to a case

    Where: /case proof in Discord

    1. Reply to the message with ?warn or another punishment, or use Punish… on it from the message’s Apps menu: that message becomes the proof.
    2. To add proof later, run /case proof with the case number and a message link or a short note.
    3. Run /case proof with only the case number to clear it.
    4. Open the case in Dashboard → Moderation → Cases to see its proof and the member’s saved messages.

    Read the guide

    Deal with a raid at once

    Where: /mass in Discord

    1. Run /mass ban, kick, mute or warn with the members to act on.
    2. Or run /mass by-name for everyone whose name contains some text, or /mass by-time for everyone who joined within a time window.
    3. Check the list of who it hits, then confirm.
    4. Run /mass status to follow a long run, or /mass cancel to stop it.

    Tip: Only managers can use /mass unless you change its roles.

    Read the guide

    Let members report messages

    Where: Dashboard, Moderation, Settings, Member reports

    1. Turn on Accept member reports.
    2. Pick a role to ping and what happens when a report is accepted, then save changes.
    3. Members use Report to moderators from a message’s or member’s Apps menu, or /report.
    4. Moderators press Accept or Ignore on each report. The Reports tab lists them all.

    Tip: Block reporter on a report stops that member from sending more.

    Server templates, a guided setup and a moving guide

    Save a server’s setup as a template and apply it to your other servers. New servers get a short guided setup, Dyno’s moderation history can come over, and a new guide covers moving from Dyno or MEE6.

    • Dashboard
    • Moderation
    • Website

    New

    • Server templates: save a server’s roles, channels, server settings and Kovu setup as a template, or build one from scratch, then apply it to any server you manage. Kovu shows a preview first, only adds what’s missing unless you ask it to update matching roles and channels, never deletes anything, and you can undo it for 14 days. Open Templates in the dashboard.
    • Share a template with a link: anyone who signs in with it sees the whole template and can apply their own copy. Turn the link off and it stops working at once, but copies people already made stay theirs.
    • A guided setup when you add Kovu: the prefix, language and time zone, your staff roles and updates channel, then what Kovu should do first, like moderation, levels, welcome messages, logging, tickets or song requests. Skipped it? Finish setup on the Overview brings it back.
    • Import moderation history from Dyno: Kovu reads the cases Dyno posted in your mod log channel, shows a preview, and adds them to each member’s history marked Imported from Dyno. It never messages, bans or mutes anyone, and you can undo it for 14 days. It’s under Moderation → Import from Dyno.

    Improved

    • A step-by-step guide in the help center, Moving from Dyno or MEE6: the MEE6 levels import, the Dyno checklist and starter settings, the moderation history import, and how an AI assistant can help.
    • Getting started now begins with the guided setup and templates.

    How to use it

    Copy a server’s setup to another server

    Where: Dashboard, Templates

    1. Open Templates in the dashboard and choose Save a server as a template.
    2. Pick the server to copy and save the template.
    3. Choose Apply to a server on the template and pick where it goes.
    4. Check the preview: Kovu only adds what’s missing unless you ask it to update matching roles and channels.
    5. Apply it. You can undo it for 14 days.

    Tip: Kovu can’t create Discord servers: create the server in Discord and add Kovu first. A saved template leaves out members, invites, webhooks, message links and other Discord ids; names and text you wrote stay, so check them before you share.

    Read the guide

    Bring your Dyno history over

    Where: Dashboard, Moderation, Import from Dyno

    1. Switch the dashboard to Advanced: Import from Dyno is an Advanced tab.
    2. Pick Dyno’s mod log channel and choose Read the channel.
    3. Check what Kovu found, then choose Import.
    4. Changed your mind? Undo the import within 14 days.

    Tip: Kovu never messages, bans or mutes anyone during an import.

    Song requests for streamers, and levels from MEE6

    Your viewers can request songs from Twitch or Kick chat and Discord, and Kovu adds them to your own Spotify queue. You can also bring your members’ XP over from MEE6, report problems straight to the Kovu team, and see what a deleted message said even after Kovu restarts.

    • Song Requests
    • Levels
    • Action Log
    • Stat Channels
    • Website

    New

    • Song requests: viewers type !sr and a song name or Spotify link in your Twitch or Kick chat, and Kovu adds it to your own Spotify queue. You need Spotify Premium and your own free Spotify app; Kovu only asks for its Client ID.
    • /sr in Discord and a queue panel that shows what’s playing and what’s next. Skip, remove, open and close requests from chat or Discord, block tracks, artists and words, and set limits per viewer and for the queue.
    • An optional chat reminder that tells your Twitch and Kick chat how to request songs, only while people are chatting. The help center has a step-by-step guide for streamers under Song requests.
    • Import XP and levels from MEE6’s public leaderboard: preview what changes, choose how it combines with XP members already earned on Kovu, and undo it for 14 days. It’s under Levels → Leaderboard → Import from MEE6.
    • Moving from Dyno or MEE6, a dashboard page linked from Modules: a checklist for each bot, and starter settings for moderation and automod, like Dyno’s defaults, that you can apply, and undo, in one click.
    • /report-kovu and the “Report to Kovu” message action: report a user or a message that breaks Discord’s or Kovu’s rules to the Kovu team. It works in DMs too.
    • The status page speaks Kovu’s 9 languages and remembers the one you picked on kovu.gg.

    Improved

    • Deleted and edited message logs show what the message said even after Kovu restarts, and in busy channels long after it was sent. Servers that log deleted or edited messages keep their recent messages for this, for up to 7 days, never from channels, roles or bots the logs ignore. The Privacy Policy has the details.
    • Song lookup now uses Deezer and is /fun song (?itunes still works, like ?song): each result shows the artist, album, length and cover art, with a 30-second preview. It no longer stops at “iTunes is getting too many requests”.
    • Stat channels ask Discord for much less: several updates for one server become one, and a counter you change within five minutes of the last update shows up at the next one. Kick counters say subscribers, the number Kick shares, and counts read naturally in every language.
    • Kovu keeps its own copy of each server’s channels and roles and waits out Discord’s rate limits instead of failing, so the dashboard, commands, counters and setup from Claude or ChatGPT are slowed by them far less often.

    Fixed

    • Web verification works again: the check on the verification page always ended with “Verification isn’t available right now” or “That check wasn’t for this page”.
    • Images attached to suggestions were dropped, both from /suggest and when a suggestion moved to another channel.
    • After an update to Kovu, most deleted message logs said “I didn’t have this message cached” instead of showing the text.
    • Appeal, ticket and form pages could show a different date or time for a moment while loading.
    • During a raid or another flood of events, Kovu could handle a few of them twice or out of order.
    • A permission change from the dashboard or an AI app could leave a channel half changed when Discord was slow. It now changes all at once, or not at all.
    • Dashboard search finds German words and plurals, and puts the module you meant first: Auto Delete for “delete”, Action Log for “log”.

    How to use it

    Take song requests on stream

    Where: Dashboard, Song Requests

    1. Open Song Requests and follow Create a Spotify app: open the Spotify developer dashboard and make a free app.
    2. Add the redirect address Kovu shows (Copy redirect URI), then paste your app’s Client ID.
    3. Choose Authorize Spotify and sign in with your Premium account.
    4. Connect Twitch or Kick so Kovu reads !sr in your chat.
    5. Play something on Spotify: Kovu can only queue songs while Spotify is playing on a device.

    Tip: Viewers in Discord can request with /sr, and /songs panel posts the queue panel.

    Bring your levels over from MEE6

    Where: Dashboard, Levels, Leaderboard, Import from MEE6

    1. Make MEE6’s leaderboard public in MEE6’s leaderboard settings, if it’s private.
    2. Choose Read the MEE6 leaderboard.

    • The server manager edits roles, permissions, channels and server settings with one-click revert, and Bot Identity gives Kovu its own name, avatar and bio in your server, or runs it as your own bot.
    • Set Kovu up by chatting with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor, or script it with the REST API. Every change is previewed first and can be undone. Release notes like these go to an updates channel you pick.
    • The website, help center and dashboard speak Kovu’s 9 languages (pick yours in the footer), in light and dark mode.
    • Channel settings warn you when Kovu can’t see or post in a channel and say which permissions to allow, and welcome and rank card previews update as you edit.
    • Ticket and modmail transcripts are deleted after 90 days by default (choose 7 to 365 days, or keep them), and cookie choices respect Global Privacy Control.

    Fixed

    • A feed post or a ticket panel could be posted twice when Discord answered slowly.
    • Channel and role pickers could not be clicked in some browsers.
    • Birthday and giveaway jobs kept running in servers Kovu had left.
