Setup

Open /dashboard/<guildId>/giveaways to use the giveaway configurator. The dashboard validates the target channel, role requirements and duration before saving anything, so most mistakes are caught before the bot posts to Discord.

1. 1

   Choose the prize and channel

   Enter the prize name, set winnersCount, and select the text channel where the giveaway should appear.

2. 2

   Set the duration

   Use minutes, hours or days. Dashboard launches must last at least 1 minute and no more than 90 days.

3. 3

   Add optional requirements

   Pick a required role and/or a minimum Discord account age in whole days. A value of 0 days is saved as no account-age requirement.

4. 4

   Customise the layout

   Keep legacy embeds or choose v2 components. You can set accent colour, image URL, button label, button style, button emoji, title, body text and footer.

5. 5

   Launch or draft

   Launch saves ended=false and no message id; the bot posts it within about 8 seconds. Draft saves ended=true, so it stays parked and is not posted.

You can also start a basic giveaway directly in Discord with /giveaway start. Slash-command giveaways do not include dashboard-only requirements or layout v2 fields unless edited in storage by code.
