Channel Setup
Best practices for configuring notification channels.
Choosing the right channel for your game alerts is important for keeping your community organized. This guide covers best practices and common configurations.
Supported Channel Types
Text Channels
Standard text channels
Regular text channels work great for alerts. Members can see and discuss notifications.
Announcement Channels
Followable channels
Announcement channels allow other servers to follow your alerts. Great for community servers.
Required Bot Permissions
RankBreaker needs these permissions in the channel you select:
- ✓ View Channel — Bot needs to see the channel
- ✓ Send Messages — Required to post alerts
- ✓ Embed Links — Alerts use rich embeds
- ○ Mention Everyone — Optional, only if using role pings
Best Practices
🎯 Use Dedicated Channels
Create specific channels like #arise-alerts or #pvb-alerts to keep notifications organized and easy to find.
🔒 Consider Read-Only Channels
Make the channel read-only for regular members (only bot can post). This prevents clutter and keeps alerts visible.
📂 Group Related Alerts
Put all Roblox game alerts in a "Game Alerts" category. Use one channel per game or combine them based on your server's activity.
🧪 Test Before Going Live
Use the "Test Send" feature in setup to preview how alerts will look. This helps catch permission issues early.
