🎉Giveaways

The giveaway plugin lets you create and administrate giveaways in a very intuitive way which gives you a full overview of everything.

A tutorial video on how giveaways work and how to set them up.

Creating a Giveaway

To start creating a giveaway, simply click the big blue button that says Create Giveaway. This will make another menu pop up.

At first glance, it might look like a lot of very complicated stuff but do not worry. We will go through everything.

Base Template

You can select a giveaway template to auto fill in the prize name, number of winners, required roles, bonus entry roles and roles granted to winners. When using a template however you must input the End Date and Time and also select the giveaway channel before creating the giveaway.

Prize Name, Number of Winners, and Channel

  • Prize Name is what you want to call your giveaway. We recommend you include the prize of the giveaway in the name.

  • Number of Winners is where you insert how many winners you want for your giveaway. Invite Tracker will select the specified amount of winners when the giveaway ends.

  • Channel is where you configure which channel you want the giveaway to be sent in. Simply click the box and choose the channel.

End Date

The first box under End Date is where you configure what day you want the giveaway to end. The format, as shown in the box, is mm/dd/yyyy. You can also click the little calendar icon on the right side of the box to display an interactive calendar which you can use to choose the day you want the giveaway to end.

The second box is where you configure at what time you want the giveaway to end. It uses a 24-hour clock format. You can also click the little clock icon on the right side of the box to display an interactive time selector which you can use to choose the time you want the giveaway to end.

The giveaway ends at the configured time in your time zone.

Role Assignment

  • Required Roles allows you to choose between "All roles required" versus "Only one role required" meaning the user needs to have all the roles selected or just one of the roles.

  • Bonus Entry Roles are all awarded a specified amount of bonus entries to the giveaway. Users with these roles have an increased chance of winning the giveaway.

  • Winner Roles are roles that are given to the winner(s) of the giveaway.

Required Messages

Required messages are pretty self-explanatory. In order to join the giveaway, you need to have the required number of messages sent in the server.

An example of a Giveaway

Below is an example of what the giveaway creation process will look like. In this giveaway, both "Verified" and "Role 1" roles are required to enter. The "Server Booster" role is set to have 5 bonus entries if the user has that role and the "Reward A" role will be awarded to the winner of the giveaway (Winner roles are a premium feature). Lastly, the number of messages required to enter the giveaway is 50.

Now we just hit the blue button at the bottom of the page named Create giveaway and the giveaway should be made in the configured channel. If not, check Invite Tracker's permissions first.

Now that we have an active giveaway, we can go back to the dashboard and see that it has been added to the list of the server's active giveaways.

Scheduling a Giveaway

To schedule a giveaway, click the Schedule button and fill in the giveaway details from above.

Unlike when creating a normal giveaway on the dashboard, when you schedule a giveaway you will set a starting date and a duration.

Repeating a Giveaway

If you would like to make your scheduled giveaway repeat, turn on the Repeating switch and you can select how often it should run.

This scheduled giveaway for example would repeat every week on Monday at 10:00.

The date and time that you set for the giveaway to repeat will be based on your timezone.

Editing a Giveaway

To edit a giveaway, just click the Blue Pencil button. This will show almost the exact same menu as the giveaway creation menu.

From here you can edit anything you like and after you save, Invite Tracker will make the necessary changes to the giveaway in the server.

For our giveaway, we will increase the required number of messages up to 100 from 50.

Now you can just go ahead and click Edit giveaway. Now if you check your server, you will be able to see that the giveaway has changed.

Giveaway Roles

  • Giveaway Blacklisted Roles are roles that disallow any user with any of these roles from joining any giveaways.

  • Giveaway Bypass Roles are roles that allow any user with any of these roles to join any giveaway even if they do not meet the requirements.

Giveaway Templates

Giveaway Templates can be created to quickly create giveaways without having to fill in the details.

To create a Template, click the Create button under Templates Management

When creating a template be sure that you fill in the the neccessary details, then when done you can create the template by clicking Create.

You can also save a new template by creating a new giveaway then clicking Save as Template next to create.
