Where to go next

Now that the basics work, here's what most teams configure next.

You have a working panel. Members can open tickets. Your team can see and close them. Here is what most teams configure next.

High impact, do these first

1. Add your full support team and configure their permissions

A single "support role" is a fine start, but most teams have layers, such as senior staff, junior mods, and trainees. Use Ticket King's dashboard permission areas to give each role exactly what it should have.

2. Set up logging

Without logs, you'll lose track of who closed what and why. Configure the log channels in Settings → Logging.

3. Decide your claim policy

When a staff member starts working on a ticket, do they claim it so others know it is handled? Should the ticket become read-only to everyone else when claimed? By default, claiming is on and a claimed ticket becomes private to the opener, the claimer, and the bot. Pick the claim mode that fits your team.

4. Customize the panel embed and ticket name format

Match the panel and ticket channels to your server's style. A few minutes of customization makes the bot fit your server instead of looking generic.

Edit the embed

Title, description, color, image, footer.

Ticket name format

What new ticket channels are named. Covers variables and character limits.

Server embed color

Set the accent color once, applies everywhere.

Medium impact, do these in week one

Add option questions to your panels

Asking members 1 to 5 questions before the ticket opens reduces back-and-forth. Questions like "What is your in-game username?", "Which game mode?", and "Have you seen the FAQ?" are answered before staff even reads the ticket.

What option questions are

Set up application panels for staff applications

If you take staff applications, a dedicated application panel collects every answer in one place instead of asking members to DM you.

Applications overview

Configure inactivity rules

Tickets that go silent for days pile up. Set an inactivity timeout (Premium) or close-on-leave so inactive tickets close automatically.

Inactivity rules

Premium upgrades worth considering

These are the premium features servers add most often:

Bot Personalizer

Custom name, avatar, banner, and bio in your server only.

Ticket Rating

A post-close rating prompt for members, so you can see how each staff member is doing.

Statistics

Charts and numbers on ticket volume, resolution time, and staff workload.

Custom Commands

Commands the bot replies to with a saved message, useful for FAQ answers.

Get help when you need it

If you hit something that is not covered here, there are three places to look:

  1. Troubleshooting for common problems and their fixes.

  2. FAQ for short answers to common questions.

  3. Support Discord to reach the team.
