Join-to-Create voice channels

Members join a trigger channel and instantly get their own voice channel, which cleans itself up afterwards.

SetupCommandsAutomation

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#

  1. In Discord, create a voice channel to act as the trigger, e.g. "Create your own channel".
  2. In the dashboard, open Community → Join-to-Create and click New profile.
  3. Choose the Trigger voice channel – that's your trigger channel.
  4. Optional: choose a Category for the new channels. If you leave it empty, they're created in the same category as the trigger channel.
  5. Set the Name template (up to 100 characters).
  6. Optional: turn on Limit users and enter a number between 1 and 99 under User limit.
  7. 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#

CommandWhat it doesWho can use it
/channel-controlOpens a control panel for your current voice channel with the Rename channel and Set user limit buttonsAnyone 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-control only 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.
