Highlights

Off by default

Members pick words they care about and get a DM when someone says one in a channel they can see. They can manage their words on their Kovu profile too.

Set it up

  1. Open the dashboard and pick your server. Sign in with Discord if you haven’t.

  2. Find Highlights in the sidebar (or press ⌘K and type its name) and turn it on.

  3. Go through the settings below. Simple mode shows the essentials; switch to Advanced for the rest.

  4. Try it in Discord: /highlight. Staff can restrict or turn off each command in Commands.

Settings

What you’ll find on the Highlights page of the dashboard. Settings marked Advanced only show in Advanced mode.

Highlights

Each member can have up to 10 phrases and gets at most one DM every 5 minutes. Members only get highlights from channels they can see.
