Join-to-Create voice channels
Members join a trigger channel and instantly get their own voice channel, which cleans itself up afterwards.
With Join-to-Create you no longer need dozens of empty voice channels. Members join a trigger channel, yurna immediately creates a voice channel just for them and moves them into it. As soon as everyone has left, yurna deletes the channel again.
You'll find the settings under Dashboard → Community → Join-to-Create (/dashboard/<server>/join-to-create). You can create up to three profiles per server, for example for member, staff or tech channels.
Setting it up#
- In Discord, create a voice channel to act as the trigger, e.g. "Create your own channel".
- In the dashboard, open Community → Join-to-Create and click New profile.
- Choose the Trigger voice channel – that's your trigger channel.
- Optional: choose a Category for the new channels. If you leave it empty, they're created in the same category as the trigger channel.
- Set the Name template (up to 100 characters).
- Optional: turn on Limit users and enter a number between 1 and 99 under User limit.
- Make sure Profile active is on, then click Save.
Settings#
- Name template – placeholders:
{user}for the username,{guild}for the server name. Example:{user}'s channel. - User limit – the maximum number of people allowed in the new channel (1 to 99). Without a limit, the channel is open.
- Profile active – yurna only uses active profiles. Paused profiles stay saved.
- Create trigger channel automatically – this setting is currently only stored and doesn't do anything yet, so create the trigger channel yourself.
How the channel behaves#
- Whoever creates the channel can manage it (rename it, change the limit).
- If the creator leaves while others are still inside, a random remaining member takes over. The channel is then renamed after that person.
- Once nobody is left, the channel is deleted.
Commands#
| Command | What it does | Who can use it |
|---|---|---|
/channel-control | Opens a control panel for your current voice channel with the Rename channel and Set user limit buttons | Anyone with "Manage Channels" in that voice channel – for Join-to-Create channels, the creator |
For the user limit you can enter 0 to 99; 0 removes the limit. New channel names can be up to 100 characters long. The control panel is only visible to you.
Required permissions#
yurna needs Manage Channels and Move Members to create and delete channels and move members into them. yurna must be allowed to create channels in the target category.
Common problems#
- Nothing happens when joining. Check that the profile is active and the right trigger channel is selected.
- "You need to be in a voice channel".
/channel-controlonly works while you're in a voice channel. - "You're missing the Manage Channels permission". You didn't create this channel and don't have management rights there.
- An empty channel stays behind. If yurna restarted while the channel was open, it may no longer be deleted automatically. Just delete it by hand.
