Overview

Discord monitoring lets Adclear track messages in specific channels within an affiliate’s Discord server. Relevant messages are evaluated against your Approved Copy library and raised for review when they do not match.

Real-time monitoring

New messages are evaluated as they are posted. No manual recheck is needed.

Approved Copy library

Named message templates that pass evaluation automatically when matched.

Affiliate link patterns

Only messages containing your configured link patterns are evaluated.

Per-affiliate configuration

Configure servers and scope per affiliate in Monitor Settings.

​
Prerequisites

Before configuring Discord monitoring, the Adclear bot must be present in the Discord server you want to monitor.
1

Invite the Adclear bot

Open Settings → Discord in your workspace. Use the bot invite link on that page and accept the invite in the target Discord server.
2

Confirm the bot is active

Verify the bot appears in the server’s member list before adding the server in Adclear.
The affiliate or their server administrator must have permission to add bots to the Discord server. Without this, the bot cannot join.
For workspace-level Discord setup steps, see Settings → Discord.

​
Where to configure Discord

Configure default Discord settings at Settings → Discord. This is the starting point for bot connection and workspace-level Approved Copy.
Most teams configure the bot at workspace level first, then add per-affiliate server details in Monitor Settings.

​
Add a Discord server

1

Open Monitor Settings

Navigate to Affiliates, open the affiliate, and click Monitor Settings. Scroll to the Discord section.
2

Add a server

Click Add server to open the Add Discord Server dialog.
3

Enter the Guild ID

Paste the server’s Guild ID. Right-click the server in Discord (with Developer Mode enabled) and select Copy Server ID. Adclear loads the server name, channels, and members automatically.
4

Select channels

Choose which channels Adclear should watch using the multi-select list. Messages in unselected channels are ignored.
5

Select monitored usernames

Choose which Discord members to track from the member list. You can also add custom usernames manually if a member is not listed.
6

Add affiliate link patterns

Enter one pattern per line. Adclear evaluates messages that contain a matching affiliate link.
7

Save

Click Add to save. You should see a confirmation that the server is configured for monitoring.
Enable Developer Mode in Discord (User Settings → Advanced → Developer Mode) to copy server and channel IDs.

​
Approved Copy library

Approved Copy is a library of pre-approved message templates. When a Discord message matches an entry in your library, Adclear marks it as compliant even if it contains an affiliate link.
1

Open the Approved Copy section

In Monitor Settings → Discord, find the Approved Copy group.
2

Add a template

Click Add and enter the exact approved wording. Give each entry a descriptive name so reviewers can identify which template matched.
3

Save

The library is used for all subsequent message evaluations on that affiliate’s configured servers.
Add your standard launch messages, weekly recap formats, and other templates affiliates reuse. This is the easiest way to reduce false positives.

​
How message evaluation works

Once configured, Adclear evaluates messages automatically when all of the following are true:
  • The message is in a configured channel.
  • The sender is a monitored username.
  • The message contains an affiliate link pattern you configured.
If the message matches an Approved Copy entry, it is marked No Issues Found. If it does not match, it is raised for review in Monitoring → Discord.

​
Reviewing flagged messages

1

Open the Discord tab

Navigate to Monitoring and select the Discord tab. Use Show: Flagged for Review to focus on items needing attention.
2

Open a message

Click a row to open the message detail view. The posted content appears alongside the Approved Copy it was evaluated against.
3

Compare and decide

Review the difference between what was posted and what was expected.
4

Record your review decision

Use the Review actions: No Issues Found, Changes Needed, In Review, or Escalate.

​
Frequently asked questions
