Custom ticket name format

How new ticket channels are named. Covers variables, character limits, and Steam-aware naming.

When a member opens a ticket, Ticket King creates a channel (or thread) with a generated name. You control the format.

Where to configure

You can set it per ticket option, or set a panel-wide default that every option inherits.

• Per-panel default: Panel Defaults, Default Ticket Name Format (placeholder ticket-{TICKET_NUMBER}).

• Per-option override: Per-option editor, Advanced tab, Ticket Name Format.

• If you set neither, the default ticket-{TICKET_NUMBER} is used.

The format you type can be up to 50 characters. The final channel name is capped at 100 characters by Discord.

Variables

Variable	Resolves to
{TICKET_NUMBER}	The ticket's number
{TYPE}	The panel option label
{USER}	The ticket author. In a channel name this resolves to their user ID.
{USER_ID}	The ticket author's Discord ID
{USER_NAME}	The ticket author's username
{GUILD_NAME}	Your server name
{CREATED_AT}	Ticket creation timestamp
{STEAM_ID}	Steam ID (only when Steam Linking is on, which is Premium)

Common patterns

Format	Result
ticket-{TICKET_NUMBER}	ticket-42
ticket-{TICKET_NUMBER}-{USER_NAME}	ticket-42-aspect
{TYPE}-{TICKET_NUMBER}	bug-report-42
{USER_NAME}-{TICKET_NUMBER}	aspect-42
support-{TICKET_NUMBER}	support-42

Whitespace and special characters

Discord channel names cannot contain spaces. Ticket King replaces spaces with hyphens automatically.

Discord channel names are also lowercased and have stricter character rules than display names, so special characters get normalized.

The Steam ID variable (Premium)

{STEAM_ID} only resolves when Steam Linking is on, which is a Premium feature. If Steam Linking is not enabled, the variable resolves to nothing.

What members see

The channel name is visible to:

• The ticket author.

• All staff who have access to the channel.

• Anyone with Discord's "Manage Channels" who can see the channels list.

So whatever you put in the name format will be visible. Do not put anything sensitive in the name itself. Put it in the description or welcome message instead.

Saving

Changes apply to future tickets. Tickets that are already open keep the name they were given when they opened.
