Getting Started

Start recognizing your team members in just a few simple steps:

1. Add Kudibot to Your Server

Click the button below to invite Kudibot to your Discord server. The bot requires specific permissions to function properly:

  • View Channels
  • Send Messages
  • Read Message History
  • Use Application Commands
  • Embed Links
  • Mention Everyone
Add to Discord
Security Note: Kudibot only requests the minimum permissions needed for its functionality.
2. Configure Your Server

Set up a dedicated channel for kudos notifications:

/kudichannel

This channel will receive all kudos notifications and reward updates. When someone gives kudos:

  • The kudos announcement will appear in this channel
  • The person giving kudos will receive a private confirmation

Giving Kudos

Recognize your teammates with these simple methods:

Quick Kudos

To give kudos, mention someone and add ++:

@teammate++ Great work today! 🌟
Pro tip: Add a message to explain why you're giving kudos - it makes the recognition more meaningful!
Multiple Kudos

Give kudos to multiple people in one message:

@teammate1++ @teammate2++ Awesome collaboration on the project! 🚀

When you give kudos:

  • A public announcement will be made in the configured channel
  • You'll receive a private confirmation showing your total kudos given
  • Recipients will see their updated kudos count in the announcement

Rewards System

Create and manage rewards to encourage participation:

Setting Up Rewards

First, set an admin password for managing rewards:

/kudiadmin set_password

Then create a new reward period:

/kudireward create

You'll need to specify:

  • Name and description of the reward
  • A unique short name for easy reference
  • Prize for winners
  • Start and end dates
  • Required kudos to receive and give
  • Maximum number of winners
Managing Rewards

View active rewards and their status:

/kudireward list

Check specific reward progress:

/kudireward status [short_name]

Delete a reward (admin only):

/kudireward delete [short_name]
Note: Deleting a reward is a soft delete - the history is preserved but the reward becomes inactive.
