Discord Commands

Overview

Section titled “Overview”

Appwarden provides a set of Discord commands to help you manage your domains, incidents, and settings. This guide will walk you through the available commands and how to use them.

The following commands are issued by interacting with the Appwarden bot from your Discord server. If you haven’t already, add the Appwarden Discord integration from your organization settings in the Appwarden dashboard and follow the getting started guide.

Commands

Section titled “Commands”

/quarantine

Section titled “/quarantine”

The /quarantine commands are used to manage the quarantine status of a domain. When a domain is quarantined and a visitor lands on any route, a lock page is displayed in place of the normal content. Quarantining a domain is useful when you suspect a security breach or otherwise want to prevent access to your domain.

lock

Section titled “lock”
Run in your Discord server
/quarantine lock

The /quarantine lock command is used to place a domain under quarantine. When a domain is quarantined, a lock page is displayed in place of the normal content.

In a few seconds, your domain will be quarantined and visitors will see the lock page on every route. Changes to the quarantine state may take up to 30 seconds to propagate.

In order to quarantine a domain, the domain must be verified. You can view the verification status of your domains by navigating to Settings > Security in the Appwarden dashboard.

unlock

Section titled “unlock”
Run in your Discord server
/quarantine unlock

The /quarantine unlock command is used to remove a domain from quarantine. When a domain is unlocked, normal website content is displayed to visitors.

/incident

Section titled “/incident”

The /incident command is used to manage active incidents on your domain, including declaring and resolving incidents, as well as paging your team members via PagerDuty.

declare

Section titled “declare”
Run in your Discord server
/incident declare

The /incident declare command is used to declare an incident on your domain. Declared incidents are typically used to communicate planned changes, maintenance windows, or other situations that Appwarden is unable to detect.

You can only declare one active incident at a time. When an incident is declared, Appwarden posts an incident message to your default Discord channel and creates an incident thread for follow-up. You may only have one active declared incident at a time.

You must run /incident declare from a regular channel, not from inside a thread.

resolve

Section titled “resolve”
Run in the incident thread
/incident resolve

The /incident resolve command is used to resolve a declared incident. You must run this command from within the incident thread created when the incident was declared.

page

Section titled “page”
Run in your Discord server
/incident page

The /incident page command is used to page your team members via PagerDuty, where you can configure phone call and text message alerts.

To set up PagerDuty, navigate to Settings > Integrations in the Appwarden dashboard.

/settings

Section titled “/settings”

The /settings commands are used to manage your Appwarden settings.

setup

Section titled “setup”
Run in your Discord server
/settings setup code:your-setup-code

The /settings setup command changes the channel that Appwarden sends incidents and other notifications to. Replace your-setup-code with the setup code found in your Appwarden dashboard.

You can find your Discord setup code in the Appwarden dashboard at Settings > Integrations > Discord.
