What you'll build

New members can only see a verify channel. They press Verify, type a secret word, and get the Verified role so they can see the whole server. This stops simple spam bots.
  • An event gives every new member the Unverified role.
  • /verify-panel posts the Verify button.
  • The button asks for the word, gives the role, counts it and logs it.

​
Before you start

1

Make two roles in your Discord server

  • Unverified: can only see the verify channel.
  • Verified: can see everything.
2

Move your bot's role up

Move your bot’s role above both of them in the role list.

Turn on the Server Members Intent

Join events need it. In the Discord Developer Portal, open your bot, open Bot, and switch on Server Members Intent.

The panel: straight under the check

Add a message block that has a button (search button). Write a title like Welcome! and text like Press Verify to get in. Add one green button called Verify.

​
What the Verify button does

Every button has its own blocks that run when someone presses it. Under the Verify button:
1

Already verified?

Add the check on the roles of the person who pressed it (search role): do they have Verified? Straight under it: Reply privately You're already verified.
2

Ask for the word: under the Else block

Add a pop-up form (search pop-up). Call the form verify and give it one short text box called word, with the label Type the word doge to get in.

Check the word

After the pop-up, add Compare: is {verify.word} equal to doge?

Right word: straight under the Compare

  1. Give roles: Verified.
  2. The block that removes roles (search remove): Unverified.
  3. Do the maths on verified-count: var + 1.
  4. Reply privately: You're in! You are verified member number {DBVAR_verified-count}.
  5. A message to your log channel (search channel): {user_name} verified.
5

Wrong word: under the Else block

Want it even easier for members? Skip the pop-up and Compare, and give the role straight away when they press the button. See Pop-up forms for more about forms.

​
Post the panel

Go to your verify channel and type /verify-panel. Done!

​
Try it

  1. Join with a second account. It gets Unverified.
  2. Press Verify and type a wrong word. The bot says try again.
  3. Press Verify and type doge. You get Verified and can see the server.
  4. Your log channel says who verified.
Nothing happens? Check the event is on, the bot’s role is above both roles, and look in Error Logs.
