Konnect for Discord

1. Open the install link. You need Manage Server on the server you are adding it to — that is Discord's rule, and Discord enforces it before we see anything.

2. Pick your server from Discord's dropdown and confirm.

3. Read what it asks for. One thing: permission to add slash commands. No message permissions, no role permissions, no access to your member list. Konnect does not join as a bot member.

4. The commands appear for everyone in the server, usually straight away. Discord caches the list, so if they are missing give it a few minutes and restart your client.

5. Try /leaderboard first. It is the one that shows real Konnect data in the channel, so you can see what you have added in one command.

Konnect installs with the applications.commands scope and no permission bits at all. In practice that means:

It can receive the command someone runs and the arguments they typed, and reply to that command.

It cannot read your channels, see your message history, post without being asked, touch roles, or list your members.

That is the smallest install Discord offers, and it is the honest one for what Konnect currently does. If a future feature needs more, it will ask for it separately and this page will say so.

/tournaments

See live Konnect tournaments

Anyone in the server Everyone in the channel sees it

Lists up to five tournaments that are open for registration on Konnect right now — title, game, and how many players are in — with a button through to sign up.

No arguments — just run it.

Example

/tournaments

🏆 Live Konnect Tournaments — Friday Night Smash · Super Smash Bros. Ultimate · 12/32 in

Worth knowing

• This is a window on all of Konnect, not a filter on your server. You will see events for games your members do not play.
• Five at a time, and not yet sorted by date — treat it as a sample of what is on, not a schedule.
• If nothing is open it says so. It never pads the list.

/leaderboard [game] [share]

Game leaderboards on Konnect

Anyone in the server Only you see it — unless you set share: True

With no game: the overall Top 5 by rank points, plus a dropdown of every game board that is open. Pick a game and the message becomes that game's season standings — rank, points, win-loss, straight out of Konnect.

Arguments

Example

/leaderboard game: Tekken 8

🏆 Tekken 8 — Season Standings · 🥇 a player — 240 pts · 12W-3L

Worth knowing

• The strongest command here, and the only one that answers a question without sending you somewhere else.
• Set share to True and it posts into the channel for everyone. A shared post drops the dropdown, so nobody can rewrite the message the rest of the channel is reading.
• Boards only exist for games Konnect has actually hosted. Ask for one it has not and you get a plain "no board yet" plus the list of boards that are live — never an empty table dressed up as a ranking.
• Players who have not played enough sets yet are shown and marked as placing, not hidden.
• Boards end with a pointer to the Konnect Discord, because the per-game roles they mention only exist there.

/profile

Your Konnect profile + stats

Anyone in the server Only you see the reply

Posts a card with a link straight to your Konnect profile — rank, match history, badges.

No arguments — just run it.

Example

/profile

👤 Your Konnect Profile — [Open my profile]

Worth knowing

• It opens your profile. It does not print your stats into Discord.
• Konnect has no way to know who you are: a Discord account in your server is not linked to a Konnect account, and this command does not try to guess.

/duel [opponent]

Challenge a player and settle it on Konnect

Anyone in the server Everyone in the channel sees it

Posts a challenge card and a link to create the duel on Konnect. Duels are glory-only — the head-to-head and the record, nothing else on the line.

Arguments

Example

/duel opponent: @Ashley

⚔️ 1v1 Duels — Challenge Ashley on Konnect, call your shot, and put it on the record.

Worth knowing

• The name renders as a chip and does not ping anyone. Konnect never mentions a member on your behalf.
• The duel is created on Konnect, not in Discord. Leave the opponent blank and the card still works as a link.

/roles

Get your game + notification roles

Anyone in the server Only you see the reply

Points you at the Konnect Discord, where the per-game and notification roles live.

No arguments — just run it.

Example

/roles

🎭 Game roles live on the Konnect server — [Join Konnect Discord]

Worth knowing

• It cannot create or assign roles in your server. Konnect is not a member of it and holds no role permission.
• Run it on the Konnect Discord and you get the actual role buttons. In your server it is a signpost, and the reply says so rather than failing quietly.

/connect

(Server admins) Connect this server to Konnect — get a public page

Server admins only Only you see the reply

Registers your server with Konnect and hands back a link carrying a referral code, so members who sign up through it are attributed to your server.

Konnect checks for Manage Server or Administrator and refuses anyone else.

No arguments — just run it.

Example

/connect

✅ Your server is on Konnect — [🔗 Your Konnect page] (a referral link, not a hub — see below)

Worth knowing

• It starts no posting. Connecting is a bookkeeping step: it records the server and mints the link. Nothing arrives in your channels as a result, then or later.
• The link is an attribution link, not a hub. It does not list your server's tournaments, members or games — it sends visitors to Konnect tagged as coming from you.
• That page is public and Konnect lists it in its sitemap, so search engines can find it. If you would rather it did not exist, skip this command.
• Discord shows this command to everyone in your member list. Konnect is what refuses it, so a member without Manage Server finds out by running it.

Konnect only speaks when spoken to. It is not a member of your server, so everything above happens because a person typed a command — nothing arrives on its own.

That is the shape of the install, not a setting. Today Konnect does not:

• post brackets, results or check-in reminders into your channels
• announce when registration opens or a match goes live
• create Discord scheduled events for tournaments
• create, assign or sync roles in your server
• message your members directly
• narrow /tournaments to your server's own events

None of that is switched off somewhere — it is not built for a server that adds Konnect from this page. When it is, it will need a second install that asks for the permission to do it, and you will be the one granting it.

Worth being blunt about one thing: running /connect does not turn any of this on. It registers your server and gives you a link. It is not a switch.

Can Konnect read our messages?

No. It asks for no message permissions and never joins as a member, so it has no access to your channels. What it sees is the command someone runs and the arguments typed with it.

Do our members need a Konnect account?

Not for /tournaments or /leaderboard — those read public Konnect data and work for anyone. /profile and /duel hand you a link, and you would sign in on Konnect at that point.

Will it post in our channels uninvited?

No. /tournaments, /duel and /leaderboard with share set to True post where they are run, because that is what the person running them asked for. Everything else replies privately to whoever typed it.

Can we restrict who uses it, or which channels?

Yes, through Discord rather than through us. Server Settings, then Integrations, then Konnect: you can disable individual commands, limit them to roles, and restrict them to channels. All of that works on a commands-only install.

Why does /tournaments show games we do not play?

Because it lists what is open across Konnect, not what is open in your server. Per-server filtering is not built yet.

What does it cost?

Nothing. Konnect is free and glory-only: you play for the result, and the result follows you. There is no tier to buy and nothing to unlock.

How do we remove it?

Server Settings, then Integrations, then Konnect, then Remove App. The commands disappear immediately and nothing is left behind in your server. If someone ran /connect, email support and we will take the server's public page down too.

The commands are not showing up.

Give it a few minutes and restart your Discord client, which caches the command list. If they are still missing, check under Server Settings and Integrations that they have not been disabled for your role or channel.
