Discord customer support, answered from your shared inbox

Connect your Discord server, and the questions people ask in the channels you pick come into your Deskwoot inbox. Each thread or forum post is one conversation, and your team answers in the same thread.


Overview

Communities, game studios and software teams often get their questions on Discord, in busy channels where a question is easy to miss. Connect your Discord server, pick the text channels and forums whose questions should come in, and each question becomes a conversation in Deskwoot, next to your email, live chat and WhatsApp.

Setup takes a few minutes. Click Connect a Discord server, pick your server on Discord's own page and allow the Deskwoot bot. You need the right to manage that server. Deskwoot never sees your Discord password, and the bot gets no administrator rights: it cannot delete or edit anyone's messages. Each server is its own inbox.

A forum post is one conversation. A new message in a text channel gets a thread, and when the same person writes again within 2 minutes, that joins the same conversation. A thread someone opens is one conversation too. Other people who write in the thread show up with their own name. Deskwoot never reads direct messages, channels you did not connect or messages from before you connected.

Your team answers from Deskwoot, on the web or in the app, and the answer shows up in the same thread under the teammate's name. Formatting stays, files of up to 20 MB go along, and a reply never pings everyone or a role. When a question needs personal details, like an order number, move it into a private thread that only the person, your team and the server's moderators can see. People can also pick Ask privately in Discord themselves.

Fynn can answer first, from the Startup plan. For each channel you choose whether he answers in every new thread, only when someone mentions the Deskwoot bot, or not at all. Other people can read a thread, so Fynn never shares account or order details there: he moves the conversation into a private thread and hands it to your team. When a conversation is resolved or opens again, the bot can post a short line in the thread.

What you get with Discord support

  • Threads become conversations

    Each thread in a connected text channel and each forum post becomes a conversation in your shared inbox.

  • Replies in the same thread

    Your team answers from Deskwoot, and the reply shows up in the thread under the teammate's name, with formatting and files.

  • Private threads

    Move a question with personal details into a private thread that only the person, your team and the moderators can see.

  • Fynn in Discord

    Fynn answers in every new thread or only when mentioned, from the Startup plan. Account and order questions go to your team in a private thread.

Frequently asked questions

The short answers are here. For anything else, ask Fynn below.

Which plan do I need for Discord?

Discord works on every plan, the Free plan too, where it uses the plan's one inbox. Each server is its own inbox, so the number of servers follows your plan's number of inboxes. Fynn answers in Discord from the Startup plan, and the 7 day trial includes that. Connecting Discord costs nothing extra.

Does Deskwoot read direct messages?

No. Deskwoot gets only the messages of the channels you connected and of their threads. It never reads direct messages or channels you did not connect, and the bot never sends anyone a direct message.

Who can see a private thread?

The person it was opened for, your team in Deskwoot and the moderators of your server. Forums do not allow private threads, so a forum post stays where it is.

When does Fynn answer in Discord?

You choose for each channel: in every new thread, only when someone mentions the Deskwoot bot or replies to Fynn, or never. In a new thread Fynn answers the person who opened it until someone else writes in it, so he never talks over a helpful member of your community. Once a teammate answers from Deskwoot, Fynn stops in that conversation.

Can I connect more than one server?

Yes, each as its own Discord inbox. A server can belong to one Deskwoot workspace only, and the Free plan has one inbox, so there it is one server.

What does Deskwoot not do in Discord?

It sends no direct messages, and Fynn starts only in a new thread or when someone mentions the bot. Discord gives Deskwoot no email addresses, and no satisfaction survey goes out there. Discord takes up to 2000 characters per message, and Deskwoot sends up to 10 files of 20 MB each in one message. A reply to a thread that a moderator locked fails until someone unlocks it.
