Templates

Templates let you define structured forms that users fill out when opening a ticket. Instead of a single "Open Ticket" button, each board can offer multiple template buttons — so users pick the right form for their issue (e.g. "Bug Report", "Billing Help", "Feature Request").


How Templates Work

  1. Create a template from the web dashboard under the Templates tab

  2. Add fields — each field becomes a text input in a Discord modal (the pop-up form users see)

  3. Link the template to one or more boards — the board embed shows a button for each linked template

  4. Run /refresh in the board's channel to update the embed with the new buttons

  5. When a user clicks a template button, Discord shows a modal with the template's fields. Their responses are posted as the first message in the new ticket channel.

Linking Templates to Boards

A template doesn't appear on any board until you explicitly link it.

From the template editor: Scroll to the "Linked Boards" section to see which boards use this template.

From the board detail page: Go to Boards, click a board, and use the Templates section to choose which templates appear as buttons.

After linking or unlinking templates, run /refresh board:<name> in the board's Discord channel to update the embed.


Enabling and Disabling Templates

Toggle a template's Enabled status from the template editor. Disabled templates don't appear as buttons on any board, even if still linked. This lets you temporarily hide a template without unlinking it.


Deleting a Template

You can delete a template from its editor page. Deletion is blocked in two cases:

  • Open tickets still reference the template — close them first

  • Sole template on a board — the board needs at least one linked template. Add another template to the board before deleting.
