Who it is for

Built for communities
with work to manage.

Foundry is a strong fit when your server has active members, a staff team, repeated support work, or systems spread across too many bots.

01

Growing communities

You need systems that can handle more members without creating more repetitive staff work.

02

Staff-led servers

Your moderators, support team, and managers need clear roles, reliable tools, and a shared audit trail.

03

Creators and gaming groups

You want onboarding, announcements, events, roles, and engagement to feel like one branded experience.

04

Teams replacing bot clutter

You are ready to consolidate disconnected tools into one managed platform with one place to configure it.

What Foundry can manage

Core operations in one system.

Start with the systems you need now and add more as your community grows.

Setup and onboarding

From request to launch.
No guessing.

You approve the workflow in a safe test environment before Foundry touches your live community.

  1. 01

    Plan the workflow

    We review your server structure, team roles, current tools, problems, and goals.

  2. 02

    Configure Foundry

    We prepare the selected modules, messages, routes, permissions, branding, and dashboard settings.

  3. 03

    Test with your team

    You use the features in the Dark Forge test server and request changes before final approval.

  4. 04

    Permission preflight

    We confirm Foundry can reach the correct channels and roles without requesting unnecessary access.

  5. 05

    Launch and support

    Foundry is added to your server, verified, monitored, and supported for the period included with your package.

Discord permissions

Only what the
enabled features need.

Foundry does not need your Discord password. Discord handles sign-in, and server configuration is restricted to members with Manage Server permission.

PermissionWhy it may be needed

Read Message History, Attach FilesCreate complete ticket transcripts and deliver generated community cards.
Manage ChannelsCreate and close private ticket channels when ticketing is enabled.

Frequently asked questions

Before you invite Foundry.

Still unsure? Join the support server and ask before you purchase anything.

Ask in Discord
Does Foundry need Administrator permission?

No. Foundry should receive only the permissions required by your enabled modules. We review permissions and role position before launch.

Do you receive my Discord password?

No. Discord handles account sign-in and authorization. Dark Forge Automation never receives your Discord password.

Can my team test Foundry before final approval?

Yes. Testing is part of the process. You can review the member and staff experience in the Dark Forge test server before your configuration goes live.

What data does Foundry store?

Foundry stores the server configuration and operational records needed for enabled features, such as ticket, moderation, onboarding, and audit information. Read the privacy policy for more detail.

Is hosting required?

No. Managed hosting is optional unless your written project scope says otherwise. Hosting and maintenance are priced separately so you can choose what you need.

Can I start small and upgrade later?

Yes. Compatible modules, panels, workflows, dashboard controls, and integrations can be added later without purchasing every feature on day one.

How long does setup take?

Timing depends on the package, customization, and how quickly your team can review the test setup. You receive a clear timeline in the written project scope.
