Hi everyone! We’re excited to launch Dots - a powerful no-code automation builder used by prominent Discord servers such as the NBA, Chainlink, Splice and Braintrust! We help folks scale their communities on Discord by automating common tasks like onboarding new members, providing customer support, and discovering insights on your most valuable members. The product consists of: 🤖 a no-code bot builder: You can pick a trigger (e.g when a user joins a community, or when they click a button), and define various actions to fire off after (e.g. send a message, send a survey, assign roles). You can think about it like Typeform for Discord, but on steroids! 📈 deep member analytics: Tag members into segments directly from Discord and identify key community members (or members about to churn) Here’s a quick 3 min demo on how you can create a rich automation in Dots: https://www.loom.com/share/67334... If you run a Discord, we would love, love, love your feedback! You can sign up at https://app.dots.community/signup with no credit card required. We have a broad free tier and our paid pricing starts at $29 / month and up for more advanced features and very large communities. Join our Discord to see a flow in action (or hang out with other 350+ Discord mods!) https://discord.gg/WJFTPtvGGw

@sanketchauhan Congrats on the launch! Super interesting, especially for people like me that don't code. What is the ideal community size?

@markus_sigel Communities with more than few hundered members benefit the most from Dots! We do have some very small communities using it (such as surveying members), but generally we recommend most communities to do things manually to learn what resonates in the community before you automate specific tasks. Was there a usecase where you felt a custom Discord bot would have been ideal for you in the past?
Devon Chulick
Amazing stuff @sanketchauhan!
Markus Sigel
@sanketchauhan Interesting. Would it be possible to auto-forward alerts from external sources, let's say Tradingview, directly to my Discord group?

@sanketchauhan congrats on your launch. You make onboarding on our Discord a fantastic experience

This is awesome @sanketchauhan !! Congratulations to you and your team for the launch! Really useful - Will proceed to implement it in one of my discord channels.

@jorge_casals thank you! Would you be able to share a bit more the use case where you think Dots can be helpful in your Discord server?
Jorge Casals
@sanketchauhan @pranavbadami I was thinking of using this as a personal use case, for online gaming, my go-to game has changed servers from a local forum to discord, I was planning on creating surveys, questions and strategies on our discord channel with this. I hope this could be possible with your software.

@pranavbadami @jorge_casals Yes, we have a pretty extensive support for surveys/questions, and you can easily track the results (or export it to a csv or google sheet for example) Essentially anything you can do through Google forms or Typeform, we support that but natively on Discord. What do you mean by strategies btw? Like getting suggestions on best game play?
Jorge Casals
@pranavbadami @sanketchauhan Exactly, or asking what days are most people available to plan strategies etc, so leaders are aware automatically without having to behind everyone individually.

Neat! How does this compare to tools like Mee6?

@jagath_vytheeswaran Thank you! Our key differentiator is the highly customizable no-code builder. The no-code builder can support a variety of different triggers, actions, and even complex conditions. That isn't quite possible with existing bots, and will most likely require you to code. We also integrate with external tools to help push that info to systems you already use. Curious if you have used any other bots?

@jagath_vytheeswaran thanks! Good question, Dots is a lot more customizable and user friendly in Discord than tools like Mee6. We also offer much better analytics on your members versus a tool like Mee6, that pretty much just does role management.

I'm really excited about what Dots can do for Discord communities — I've been really disappointed with the capabilities of most (other!) Discord bots I've investigated, and have ended up writing a lot of custom code to support the behaviors I want. Dots looks like it will be able to replace a ton of these specialized bots with something I don't have to run a server for. I've played around with it for a couple of weeks, and I'm really excited about what it can do now, and the potential it has in the future 🚀

@vcarl Thank you for the candid feedback. We definitely will make the bot more stable so you can use it for complex use cases in the future. Thanks for being patient as we squash the bugs!

@vcarl thank you so much for your support! It’s been incredibly helpful so far and I really appreciate you helping us debug stuff early on too 🙌🏽

Congratulations on the launch Sanket 🚀 I have been running a discord community for Olvy, would definitely come on handy. Love the example of step-by-step onboarding flow, which usually we do it with mee bot which is obviously not very customisable. Gonna give it a try soon 🙌

@sanketchauhan I think the biggest one would be building engagement, announcing new stuff, just entered your discord, love the onboarding there. Without even getting into the product, I just saw the possibilities 🙌

I got to use dots pretty early on and have loved how the team has grown the product. Discord is great for communities, but the native tools are terrible for automation and scale. Dots has helped a lot with that. Really excited for what they're doing now and next!
