Role workflows

## Build reaction roles with the logic your server needs

FromFlow is a Carl-bot alternative for teams that want role selection plus custom workflow control. Use it for self roles, button roles, verification, welcome flows, moderation, tickets, logs, and custom commands.

### Role menus

Create self-serve roles for interests, pings, regions, events, and access.

### Verification

Grant access after a member accepts rules or completes a step.

### Moderation

Build warning, timeout, log, and filter workflows around your rules.

### Welcome flows

Connect new members to role selection and onboarding.

### Tickets

Let members open private support or appeal flows.

### Custom data

Store choices, settings, logs, or user state for later steps.

Migration

## Recreate role menus carefully

Role workflows depend on Discord permissions and hierarchy. Before replacing a Carl-bot setup, document every role menu, recreate it, test add and remove behavior, and confirm the bot role can manage the selected roles.

### Map each menu

List messages, roles, labels, categories, and channel locations.

### Check hierarchy

The bot role must be above roles it assigns or removes.

### Test toggles

Verify add, remove, exclusive groups, and verification paths.

### Replace gradually

Avoid keeping two role bots active on the same menu.

How it works

## From idea to hosted Discord bot

1

### Choose a trigger

Start from a Discord event, slash command, button, menu, member join, message, or template workflow.

2

### Connect the logic

Add conditions, role checks, data lookups, messages, embeds, channel actions, and follow-up steps visually.

3

### Review the server details

Check channels, permissions, role hierarchy, message copy, staff notifications, and edge cases before launch.

4

### Deploy and improve

Run the bot through FromFlow hosting, then keep editing the workflow as your Discord server changes.
