Staff Applications

Build questionnaires and manage applicant review decisions.

Updated October 21, 20262 min read

Getting started

1

Create a panel

Configure the public Discord panel: channel, title, message, and button or dropdown. Application-specific review and ticket settings belong to Application Types.

2

Add application types

Add Moderator, Creator, or other flows. Configure each type's questions, review settings, reviewer roles, applicant/staff ticket permissions, and transcripts.

3

Protect answers

In Forms & questions, choose a private recovery channel for the application type. Recovery attachments go there separately from the review card and include the panel, form, applicant, and application ID in the filename. A failed upload can leave a local snapshot; do not rely on the same host as your only copy.

4

Publish

Members select a type and complete the questionnaire through Discord.

5

Test the DM interview

Start from a regular member account with DMs enabled. Multiple-choice answers replace the prompt with Question answered and the selected option. Check that the next question, submission, staff review, and recovery upload all succeed.

6

Review

Read answers, message the applicant, and accept or deny with the exact staff reason. The existing staff-thread card is updated. Application tickets remain separate from ordinary support tickets.

Settings reference

Use this reference when you need to check what a setting does.

Panel channel

Where members see the application launcher.

Review channel

Private destination for new submission notifications.

Reviewer role

Role permitted to review and decide applications.

Application type

One distinct flow such as Moderator, Creator, or Partner.

Questions

Ordered prompts copied into each submission so later edits do not rewrite history.

Button label and emoji

Call-to-action displayed on the published panel.

Recovery channel

Private channel selected in Application Types for answer snapshots, named with panel, form, applicant, and application ID.

Forms & questions

Create and edit interview flows separately from the public panel message.

How it works

Here’s what happens once you’ve finished setup.

  1. 1
    Member

    Starts a type and answers questions in DM.

  2. 2
    NightCrew

    Stores each answer and posts the review record.

  3. 3
    Reviewer

    Reads answers, messages the applicant, and accepts or denies.

  4. 4
    Applicant

    Receives the decision and any follow-up message.

Example

EXAMPLE
Moderator application

Ask age/time zone, availability, moderation experience, conflict handling, and a scenario question. Use a private #application-reviews channel.

A configured recovery channel receives recovery attachments separately; protect it like private application answers.

Troubleshooting

Questionnaire stops

The member closed DMs, blocked the bot, or did not answer before the flow expired.

Reviewer buttons fail

Confirm the application still exists and the reviewer has the configured dashboard/Discord access.

They must allow direct messages from server members.
