To respond to commands, Eventcord requires the following permissions in the channel you are sending the commands:
- Read messages
- Send messages
- Use embeds
Without these three permissions, Eventcord can't respond to you at all. Eventcord also has other recommended permissions which can be seen in the FAQ. Additionally, Eventcord does not support threads currently. Use a text channel or a voice chat for commands.
Eventcord uses a role to figure out who has permission to start, stop, or manage a queue. Eventcord checks whether a member has the role based on the name of the role. By default, the role Eventcord looks for is a role named "Event Admin" (case sensitive). You can customize the role which Eventcord looks for by using the /setup command or by using the /config command (see changing roles). If you need help creating roles, check out this Discord article. If you need help managing roles, check out Role Management 101. For help getting started with Eventcord or customizing Eventcord, check out these pages:

Your server may have been blacklisted for Eventcord's safety. Please join the support server for help with this.
