Getting Started

Welcome to the Vouch Bot Setup Guide! This document will help you download, configure, and run your bot properly.

Before you start:

Need a bot/app and token? See: How to Create Discord Bot

💾 Data Storage

When you first run the bot, it will automatically create a folder named data in its directory.

This folder stores all vouches and important bot data.
⚠️ Do not delete or lose this folder! If it’s lost, all stored vouches and configurations will be gone permanently.
To be safe, make regular backups of this folder.

The super user defined in the config is the first admin with full control.
Additional admins can be added directly in Discord using the command:
```
/add-admin <user>
```
Once added, those admins will also be able to manage vouches and bot functions.

To get started, download the latest version of the Boost Bot program:

Open config.yaml in a text editor and fill in the following fields:

bot_token → Your bot’s authentication token.
```
bot_token: "YOUR_BOT_TOKEN_HERE"
```
super_user_id → The primary administrator of the bot.
- This is usually the owner’s Discord user ID.
- The super user has full permissions to manage settings and assign admins.
```
super_user_id: "123456789012345678"
```
customer_role_id → The Discord role ID for your customers.
```
customer_role_id: "987654321098765432"
```
vouch_channel_id → The Discord channel ID where vouches are posted.
```
vouch_channel_id: "112233445566778899"
```

Blacklist certain words from vouches

blacklisted_words: ["nitro", "token", "server boosts"]

Customize embed appearance

embed_settings:
    icon_url: "https://i.postimg.cc/tTVqXLDT/Static-Logo.png"
    footer_text: "Thanks for vouching! 🎉"

✅ You’re ready to go! Your bot is now configured, admins can be managed, and vouches will be safely stored.
