Verification Channel Setup

When the verification rules are ready, you can invite your users to initiate the verification process. But first, you need to prepare and set up the verification channel.

To provide your Discord server with the token-gated functionality, Bocto initially creates an embedded message with a special widget. This widget can be set up using two methods - via the Bocto Dashboard and via the Discord command.

Setting up the Channel and Permissions.

Whatever of the two mentioned methods you choose, first you need to prepare the #nft-verify (or name it as you wish) public channel with the correct channel permissions where you want to set up the verification widget, then come here to continue.

Setting up the Verification Widget via Dashboard.

After activating the plugin in the Bocto Dashboard and creating the #nft-verify channel in your Discord, come back to the Select a Plugin page and click on the ⚙ button to enter the basic plugin settings.

Now choose the prepared channel - it will take a while to check if Bocto has access to this channel. If everything is OK, press the Save button on the top bar.

If you see this error: Bocto is missing the following permissions for this channel to operate properly: ViewChannel, that means your #nft-verify channel is actually private!

To fix it, check again and set up the correct channel permissions, then come back and reload the Verify Roles Settings page. If everything is OK, press the Save button on the top bar.

After saving the channel in the Bocto Dashboard, the embed widget will immediately appear in this channel.

Set up the Verification Widget via Discord.

Alternatively, you can use the special Discord command to set up the verification widget. If you prefer this method, call the /set-verification-channel command in any channel and in the appeared dropdown, choose the channel for the verification you've prepared. Here is the same rule - this channel must have the correct channel permissions set up.

If everything is okay with the permissions, the embed widget will immediately appear in this channel.

But if you see this message instead, that means your #nft-verify channel is actually private.

To fix it, check again and set up the correct channel permissions, then come back and relaunch the command.

When everything is done, visit the Verify Roles Settings page in Dashboard to ensure the channel was set automatically. If you kept this page open, refresh it to see the actual state. It should look like this:

Once you've done, invite your users to this channel to start the user verification process.
