Questions and troubleshooting

FAQ for server owners and staff.

Short answers for the setup issues most communities run into first.

Why are commands not showing in Discord?

Make sure the bot was invited with applications.commands, then wait for Discord to refresh slash commands. For development guild commands, confirm the bot is registering to the correct guild.

Who can use setup commands?

Setup commands usually require Staff Role, Bot Admin Role, Manage Server, Administrator, or a command-specific permission. Configure staff roles with /setup first.

How does bot and CAD sync work?

The Discord bot links a guild to a CAD community. Once linked, duty sessions, departments, calls, civilians, vehicles, reports, warrants, and logs use shared community data.

What should I do if 911 calls do not post?

Run /setup and confirm the 911 channel is configured. Then check that the bot can view the channel, send messages, and embed links.

How do roleplay tweets work?

Staff sets a Twitter channel with /setup or /twitter-channel. Members create a server-specific handle with /create-twitter, update it with /edit-twitter, then post with /tweet. Tweet messages include like and repost buttons.

Why does lookup say my server is not linked?

Create a Discord link code from the website community settings page, then run /community-link in the Discord server that should connect to that CAD community.

Can different departments have different tools?

Yes. Department feature access controls whether members can view calls, use lookup, manage reports, manage warrants, open medical records, or use other CAD tools.
