VerseDB connects to Discord in three ways. You can link your account to prove you're a member and pick up your Pro role, unlock Discord's Linked Roles so servers can grant roles based on your VerseDB activity, and add the VerseDB bot to a server you run. Everything lives under Apps → Discord in your library.
Link your account#
Open Apps → Discord and click Link. You'll approve access on Discord, and if you're not in the VerseDB community server yet, you can join right from there. Linking confirms you as a VerseDB member, and if you're a Pro subscriber, you automatically get the Pro role in the community server.
You can unlink anytime from the same page.
Unlock Discord roles with Linked Roles#
After linking, you can authorize VerseDB as a Linked Roles connection in Discord. Any server can then use your VerseDB account to grant roles through Discord's built-in Linked Roles feature. VerseDB shares four details:
- Pro Subscriber — whether you have an active Pro subscription
- Collection Size — how many comics are in your collection
- Reviews Written — how many reviews you've written
- Pro Member Since — how long you've been a Pro subscriber
Each server's admins decide which of these to require for a role. You stay in control, since Discord only shares these details after you authorize the connection.
Add the VerseDB bot to your server#
If you run a Discord server, you can add the VerseDB bot for free. From Apps → Discord, use the install link and choose your server — you'll need the Manage Server permission there. Once it's in, manage it from the server dashboard at Apps → Discord → your server.
Slash commands#
Anyone in a server with the bot can use these:
/search— search series, issues, characters, or creators/issue,/series,/character,/creator,/publisher— look up a specific entry/key-issues— key issues for a character/releases— new releases for a date range/foc— upcoming Final Order Cutoff deadlines/new-series— #1 issues launching soon/trending— this week's trending comics/comic-of-the-day— a daily featured comic/status— bot and database health
Add private: true to any lookup for a reply only you can see, or set a server-wide default with /config.
Automatic posts#
From the server dashboard you can schedule posts to a channel for weekly releases, FOC deadlines, new series, trending comics, and a comic of the day. Choose the channel for each, filter by publisher or medium, and send a test post to confirm it looks right.
What you need#
Linking and Linked Roles need a VerseDB account and a Discord account. The Pro role on the community server requires a Pro subscription. The bot and every slash command are free, but installing the bot on a server takes the Manage Server permission on that server.
