Revolt & Others
This guide assumes that your Unifier instance has the correct Platform Support Modifier installed (for Revolt, use the Revolt Support Modifier) and the command signatures of the platform is the same as Revolt Support's.
Please reach out to your instance owner for assistance if needed.
For this guide, we will use u! as the bot prefix, as that is the prefix of the public instance.
Server permissions
First, ensure that your Unifier instance has all the necessary permissions. For it to properly function, it should have:
View Channel Required for detecting messages sent in chat.
Send Messages Required for Unifier to send responses to commands.
Send Embeds Required for embeds, as well as for displaying embeds from bridged messages.
Upload Files Required for displaying attachments from bridged messages.
Masquerade Required for Unifier to apply custom avatars and usernames to each bridged message.
(Optional) Manage Roles Required for Unifier to display user colors. If this permission is not given, the user color will be the same as Unifier's.
(Optional) Use external emojis Required for displaying user emojis, but not required for bot to function.
(Optional) Manage Messages Required for Global Emojis, but not required for basic bridging functionality.
If any of these permissions are missing, the bot may NOT work in your server.
Creating a Private Room
Unifier lets you create Private Rooms for you and your friends and communities to chat together without having to worry about unwanted servers joining in.
To create a Private Room, simply run u!bridge create-room to create a room. Your Room will be given a random name, which Unifier will send through the command response. This is your Room name, which you can use to manage your Room settings.
If Private Rooms aren't enabled on your instance, please contact your instance operators for assistance.
Creating Private Room invites
If you're trying to bind the server you created your Private Room in to your Private Room, you don't need a Room invite for this. You will only need it for other servers.
If you're trying to bind to a Public Room, you don't need an invite regardless of the server (hence the "Public").
For servers to join your Private Room, you will need to create an invite. You can create an invite by running /config create-invite. You will need to provide the Room name when running the command.
Every invite, by default, is valid for 7 days and has unlimited uses. You can customize these if you wish.
Although permanent invites (i.e. invites that don't expire) are available, they are not enabled by default. If you need this, please ask your instance's owners for assistance.
Once you run the command, Unifier will create an invite and send it to you through DMs. This is your invite code.
If you forget your invites, you can always run u!config invites <room> to view your Room's invites. Unifier will DM the Room's invites to you.
Connecting to rooms
To bind to and unbind from rooms, you need Manage Channel permission.
To connect to a room, you will need a channel for the room. We recommend you create a dedicated channel for the rooms rather than using existing ones.
After creating the channel, please make sure there are no channel permission overrides that limit Unifier's permissions (you do not need to check for overrides that grant additional permissions to Unifier).
Connecting to a Unifier room is simple and straightforward. You can see what rooms are available to you by running u!bridge rooms. If there are no rooms available, contact your instance admins for help.
In the channel you want to bind the Room to, run u!bridge bind <room>, where <room> is the name of the room you want to connect to, or if the room is a Private Room, an invite code to the Private Room.
Before you bind the channel to the room, you'll need to accept the rules of the room. On Discord, you will need to press "Agree & Bind" to connect to the room.
Once you have completed your steps, your channel should be connected!
If you're done using an invite, we strongly recommend you revoke it. An invite will let any server join your Private Room.
To revoke an invite, run u!config delete-invite <invite> where <invite> is the invite code.
Troubleshooting
The bot won't bridge messages to Revolt!
This is a common issue. Usually, this is because you didn't grant the bot the Masquerade permission. Grant it and try again.
