The Newt dashboard is at newt.bot. Log in with Discord, select your server from the list, and you land on a full visual interface for every feature Newt offers. Each feature has its own tab in the left-hand navigation. Most configuration tasks are faster here than through slash commands — especially anything involving layout, previews, or multiple settings at once.
Logging in and selecting your server
Click Log in with Discord on the homepage. Discord handles authentication and redirects you back. You’ll see every server where you have the Manage Server permission. Click the one you want to configure.
If a server is missing from the list, you either don’t have Manage Server there, or Newt hasn’t been added to it yet. Use the authorization link to add the bot first.
What you can do in the dashboard
The dashboard covers everything the slash commands cover, and adds visual tools that commands can’t replicate:
Welcome cards — Upload your own background image or choose from four built-in styles. Type your welcome message and watch the live preview redraw with your own avatar as you type. The preview is generated by exactly the same code the bot uses, so what you see is what your new members will see.
Role button panels — Create a panel, pick the channel it posts in, tick the roles you want, and save. The message appears within a few seconds. Edit a panel later and the existing message is edited in place — links to it keep working. This is the recommended way to build role panels; the command flow requires several steps that the dashboard handles in one screen.
Ticket panels — Set up the panel channel, the category for ticket channels, the support roles, and the button labels all in one place. Add a transcript channel so closed tickets are saved as HTML files before their channels are deleted.
Counters — Tick the statistics you want displayed (members, bots, channels, roles) and write the channel name format using {count} as the placeholder. Save, and the channels appear in a Server Stats category within about 30 seconds.
Automod rules — Each of the nine automod rules has its own response and its own thresholds. The dashboard lets you configure all of them on one page and set exemptions before switching anything on.
Question of the Day — Paste a list of questions (plain text, one per line, or a JSON list) and configure the channel, posting hour, and roles to ping. The queue shows which question posts next.
Soundboard — Upload mp3 or ogg files, rename sounds, adjust volume, and reorder your board. Everything for soundboard management lives here; there are no slash commands for it.
The bot checks the dashboard for changes every 10 seconds. After saving a setting, wait a moment before testing it in Discord — if you run a status command immediately after saving, it may reflect the previous configuration. A few seconds is all it takes.
The Permissions tab
Open the Permissions tab in your server’s dashboard section to control which roles can use moderation commands. This is separate from Discord’s own permission system.
By default, the server owner and any role with Administrator can use all of Newt’s moderation commands. Use the Permissions tab to add other roles — for example, your Moderator or Senior Mod roles. A member with the Discord “Ban Members” permission still can’t use /ban until their role is added here.
You can also use the Permissions tab to adjust which roles can use other commands such as /sticky, /giveaway, and /bumpreminder, overriding the defaults shown in the command tables.
Dashboard vs slash commands
Both approaches configure the same features. Use whichever suits the task:
