Ticket Panels

Deploy interactive button panels so users can open tickets without knowing any commands.

What Is a Panel?

A panel is a Discord embed posted by Help Buddy to a channel of your choosing. It contains one button for each ticket type you have configured. Users click a button to open a ticket of that type — no commands required.

Panel Configuration

Panels can be created from the Panels tab in the dashboard or with /panel create. Each panel has the following options:

OptionDescription
ChannelWhere the panel embed will be posted
TitleThe heading shown in the embed
DescriptionSupporting text displayed under the title (optional)
ColorThe accent color of the embed border
Ticket TypesWhich ticket type buttons to include on this panel

Panel Buttons

Each button on a panel corresponds to one ticket type. The button label and color come from the ticket type's own configuration. You can include some or all of your ticket types on any given panel. A single server can have multiple panels deployed in different channels.

Keeping Panels Up to Date

Tip

When you update a ticket type's name, label, or color in the dashboard, any panels containing that type are automatically refreshed. You do not need to recreate the panel.

To change the panel's title, description, or embed color, use /panel edit with the panel message ID, or update it from the Panels tab in the dashboard.

Multiple Panels

You can deploy multiple panels across different channels. This is useful for separating support topics by audience — for example, a panel in #billing-support for payment questions and a separate panel in #technical-support for bug reports.

Removing a Panel

Delete the panel message in Discord, or remove it from the Panels tab in the dashboard. Deleting a panel does not affect any currently open tickets.
