# Inviting the bot

Add Docket to your Discord server in under two minutes. You only need to do this once per server — everything else is configured from the dashboard.

## Invite the bot

Click the button below to invite Docket to your server. You'll need administrator permissions in your Discord server to authorize it.

[Invite Docket to Your Server](https://invite.noyralabs.com/docket)

## Grant permissions

The bot requires these permissions to function properly:

-   **Manage Threads** — Create and archive private ticket threads
-   **Send Messages** — Post ticket embeds, notifications, and panel buttons
-   **Use Slash Commands** — Register and respond to slash commands
-   **Manage Roles** — Add members to ticket threads by role

> [!TIP]
> When you use the invite link above, these permissions are automatically requested. Just click "Authorize" to grant them all at once.

## Access the dashboard

After inviting the bot, visit the dashboard to configure it. Sign in with Discord, then click on the server where you just invited Docket.

> [!TIP]
> You need to log in with your Discord account to access the dashboard. Use the "Sign in" button at the top right of the website.

## Configure basic settings

Set up the minimum required configuration to start accepting tickets:

-   **Default Ticket Channel** — Where new ticket threads are created
-   **Create Ticket Types** — At least one category for tickets
