¶ Overview
Cakey Bot is a highly customizable utility and moderation bot. You can configure many features and settings in Cakey Bot using our web dashboard. You can access our web dashboard by visiting this link or by clicking "Manage Servers" in the navigation bar of our website.
Once you have selected a server to manage, you will be taken to that server's home page. This page will show you general server stats and some basic bot settings like the default music volume, language, and command prefix. After you are on this page, you can either modify these settings or navigate to other modules to configure.
¶ Login
You will need
Manage ServerorAdministratorpermission to manage servers.
To access the Web Dashboard, server administrators must:
- Visit this link or click "Manage Servers" on the main Cakey Bot website
- Authenticate with their Discord account
- Select a server from the list of servers they have permission to manage
- If Cakey Bot is not in the selected server, they will be prompted to invite the bot first
¶ Server Homepage
After selecting a server, administrators are taken to that server's homepage. This page displays:
- Server statistics (member count, channel count, etc.)
- Core bot settings (prefix, default music volume, language)
- Quick access to all available configuration modules
This serves as the central hub from which administrators can navigate to other sections of the dashboard.
¶ Manage/Customize

¶ Best Practices
When using the Web Dashboard, consider these recommended practices:
-
Regular Review: Periodically review your configuration settings to ensure they still align with your server's needs.
-
Permission Management: Only give
Manage ServerorAdministratorpermissions to trusted individuals, as they will gain full access to the dashboard. -
Feature Integration: When enabling new features, consider how they will interact with existing ones. For example, economy rewards might affect the leveling system.
-
Testing Changes: After making significant changes, test the functionality in your server to ensure it behaves as expected.
-
Backup Settings: Before making major configuration changes, consider documenting your current settings as a backup. The dashboard does not have any built-in rollback or backup systems.
