Discord is a communication platform for gamers that lets you easily voice chat, share photos and videos, and join channels with your friends. One of the best things about Discord is that it’s easy to set up and use. You can create a server for your gaming group or join one that already exists. Once you’re in a server, you can voice chat, share photos and videos, and join channels. Another thing about Discord servers is that almost all server has their own moderators and administrators that keeps the server from harm or any other concerns.
But what if, there comes a time that noone is available to answer your community's query, not even the Discord Administrator or Moderator? What would you do? Apparently, as a troubled community member that has noone to report to about their concerns or problems, your members or the users on your server will leave. That is why tickets bot is here for your community to send their concerns.

A confirmation will appear that you have successfully Authorized the bot and that you may close this window or tab. This means that you successfully invited the bot into your server. Next step is to set up the bot in your server.
You have now successfully invited the bot to your Discord server. The next steps are for setting up the tickets channel.

Step 6. Go to Reaction Panels
For now, you need to create a reaction panel where the community will see the option to open a ticket. You will see the top menu, there will be a "Reaction Panels" click on it.
Step 7. Create a Reaction Panel
You will then need to create a reaction panel. You will be asked to input a panel title, panel content, panel colour, panel channel, etc. The boxed ones are the important ones for now. For the panel channel, you need to select the channel that you created specifically for tickets.
Note that non-premium members can only have 3 panels.
After finishing editing your panel, click on Submit

Go back to the server that you invited the Tickets bots on. You will see that there will be a panel added to the channel that you specified on the dashboard.
You can try to check if the bot is working by clicking on the button that you set. For this example, I have set the button above to have the word "This is a sample ticket"
Step 10. Tickets
After the community member or user clicks on the button "This is a sample ticket", a ticket channel will be automatically created. This channel will only be seen by the admins, moderators and the one who submitted the ticket.
Summary
Tickets bot is one of the essential bots that I would personally add to my Discord servers. It is a nice bot to have and it's also easy to install to your server and easy to use! It is also a great tool to speed up the process of responding to a concern. Not only it would not be flooded by chats since the only ones on the created ticket channel are the moderators, admins and the creator of the ticket, it would also help since if the mods and admins are not available at this time, they can check it out later and solve the concern or problem.
