There are two different ways to get started. Both versions offer exactly the same functionality. Eventmanager™ only works for FFA-style events, no team support.
Step 1-A: Your own Discord server
- Make sure that riskbot is on the server where you want to set up an event
- Make sure that riskbot has permissions to: create/read messages, create/manage threads, manage members, create/manage roles
- Run the /create-event command and input the desired event name
- Optional: Move the newly created event channel to the correct category within the server
Step 1-B: Main server Eventlabs
- Apply for the @eventlabs-host role to get proper permissions
- Run the /eventlabs-create command and input the desired event name
