Supported tools

Every action Ceven's agents can run on Discord Bot, and when to use it.

Post message
Use this to send text, embeds, or attachments to a specific channel. Common for system alerts or automated announcements.
Assign role
Grant a specific role to a guild member. Use this for gated access or rewarding community milestones.
Create thread
Start a new thread in a text channel to organize a specific conversation or support ticket.
Bulk delete messages
Remove multiple messages in a channel at once. Use this for cleaning up spam or expired event chats.
Ban user
Permanently remove a user from a guild and optionally delete their recent message history.
Create invite
Generate a new invite link for a specific channel to bring in new users.
Add reaction
Add an emoji reaction to a message to signal a bot action or acknowledge a user request.
Create channel
Set up a new text, voice, or category channel within a guild with specific permissions.
Update member
Change a users nickname, roles, or mute status within a server.
Create webhook
Set up a webhook in a channel so external apps can push notifications into Discord.
Add thread member
Invite a specific user to an existing thread to bring them into a focused discussion.
Create role
Define a new server role with custom colors and permissions.
Add recipient to group channel
Adds a user to a discord group direct message (dm) channel.
Update guild member information
Adds a user (who is not already a member) to a guild using their `access token` (which must have `guilds.join` scope), optionally setting nickname, roles, mute/deaf status, or flags.
Assign role to guild member
Assigns a role to a guild member, provided the bot has 'manage roles' permission in the guild and the role to be assigned is hierarchically lower than the bot's highest role.
Add reaction to message
Adds an emoji reaction from the authenticated user/bot to a specific message in a discord channel; does not return information about existing reactions.
Add or update thread member
Adds a user to a specific, unarchived thread; the user must have access to the thread's parent channel, and for private threads, the bot must already be a member.
Modify guild ban settings
Permanently bans a user from a discord guild, optionally deleting their recent messages (specify deletion period in seconds or days, not both).
Bulk ban users in guild with message deletion option
Bans up to 200 users from a discord guild, optionally deleting their recent messages; the bot must have 'ban members' permission in the guild, and this action is irreversible.
Bulk delete messages in channel
Atomically bulk deletes messages in a discord channel for moderation or maintenance; deletion may not be instantaneous and messages are unrecoverable.
Create application command objects
Creates a new global discord application command, accessible across guilds and in dms (if `dm permission` is true), noting global commands can take up to an hour to propagate and have registration limits; for guild specific commands, use a
Create guild auto moderation rule
Creates a new auto moderation rule for a discord guild, requiring 'manage guild' permission; rule parameters are passed in the json request body (see request schema description for body content).
Create channel invite
Creates a new invite for the specified discord channel, provided the bot has 'create instant invite' permission for that channel.
Initiate user channel with recipient
Creates a new direct message (dm) channel or retrieves an existing one, using `recipient id` for a 1-on-1 dm or `access tokens` for a group dm; this action only establishes or fetches the channel and does not send messages.
Create new guild object
Creates a new discord guild (server) with the specified name, roles, and channels; icon must be a base64 encoded 128x128 image, and if `afk channel id` is set, `afk timeout` must also be set.
Create guild application command
Creates a new guild specific application command (slash, user, or message) in discord; command name must be unique per type within the guild (max 100 total commands), and client ui updates may take up to an hour.
Create guild channel
Creates a new discord channel (text, voice, category, etc.) within a guild, with options for permissions, topic, and type specific settings.
Create guild emoji
Creates a new custom emoji in a specified discord guild, requiring `create expressions` permission and adherence to guild emoji limits.
Post guild template by code
Creates a new discord guild by applying channels, roles, and settings from a specified, valid, and accessible guild template code.
Create role with guild id
Creates a new role in a discord guild with customizable name, permissions, color, hoist, mentionability, and icon; `icon` (custom image hash) and `unicode emoji` (standard emoji) are mutually exclusive.

Frequently asked questions

Ceven operates based on the permissions granted to the bot token in your server. If the bot does not have the manage roles permission, any workflow attempting to assign a role will fail. The bot also follows the Discord role hierarchy, meaning it cannot assign or remove roles that are positioned higher than its own highest role in the server settings. You must ensure the bot role is dragged to the top of the list in your server settings for full administrative control over other members.
Ceven can only read messages in channels where the bot has been explicitly added and granted the read messages permission. For servers with many private channels, you must manually add the bot to those specific channels or grant it administrator privileges. We recommend a principle of least privilege, adding the bot only to the channels where you actually need automation to run. This keeps your private staff channels secure while still allowing the agent to moderate public areas.
Discord imposes strict rate limits on API calls to prevent spam, especially for bulk actions like deleting messages or updating roles. When Ceven hits a rate limit, the agent automatically enters a retry loop using an exponential backoff strategy. This means it will wait for the duration specified in the Discord retry after header before attempting the action again. For very large servers, we recommend batching updates to avoid triggering these limits and causing delays in your workflow execution.
Yes, Ceven can initiate and manage direct message channels with users. This is useful for sending private onboarding instructions or confirmation codes. However, the user must share a guild with the bot or have their privacy settings configured to allow direct messages from server members. If a user has blocked the bot or disabled DMs from server members, the API will return an error which the Ceven agent can then log or use to trigger a fallback notification in a public channel.
When you connect Discord to Ceven, you are redirected to the Discord authorization page. You select the server you want the bot to join and approve the requested scopes, such as bot and guilds. Once approved, Discord provides an access token and a refresh token. Ceven stores these tokens securely and uses them to make requests on your behalf. You can remove the bot from your server at any time via the server member list, which immediately kills all active sessions for that specific guild.
Yes, the agent can create entirely new guild objects using the create guild action. This is helpful for creating temporary project servers or event specific hubs. You can specify the server name and initial roles during creation. Keep in mind that Discord limits the number of servers a single account can join, so if your workflow creates servers at a high volume, you may eventually hit a global account limit that requires manual cleanup of old servers.
Ceven can create and manage application command objects, which are the slash commands users type in the chat. While the agent can register these commands, the actual execution logic is handled by the workflow you build in Ceven. When a user triggers a slash command, Discord sends an interaction event to Ceven, and the agent processes the input to trigger the corresponding workflow. Note that global commands can take up to an hour to propagate across all servers in your network.
The bulk delete action allows the removal of up to 100 messages in a single API call, and these messages must typically be less than two weeks old. If you need to clear a channel of older content, the agent must perform multiple sequential calls. This process is slower because of the rate limits mentioned earlier. For total channel wipes, it is often faster to delete the channel entirely and recreate it using the create channel action provided in the toolkit.
