Our guide for more in depth use of verification!​

You may have noticed the need to set the nickname of your members to their username used in a third party service. Well, you're in luck! Our Verification Module can easily do this for supported services.

Setting up nicknames​

First, you need to understand the basics:

  • Words separated by dots (.) inside double curly brackets ({{}}) are considered variables.
  • Variables consist of a root and value structured root.value.

These variables are replaced by information stored for each unique user. For example, replacing the variable with a person's Roblox username will be written {{roblox.name}}, and anything left outside the curly brackets would be the same for everyone.

Some examples of correct and incorrect variables are:

  1. roblox.name - This is incorrect, and will nickname everyone "roblox.name" when they verify.

nick-example1

  1. {{roblox.name}} - This is correct, and will nickname everyone their unique username when they verify.

nick-example2

  1. {{member.display_name}} [{{roblox.name}}] - This is correct, and will nickname everyone first with their username, then their Roblox name afterwards within brackets.

Common variables​

  • member.name - Unique name of the Discord member
  • member.display_name - Non-unique username of the Discord member
  • roblox.name - Connected Roblox account name, only available when Roblox is used for verification

Curly brackets in the nickname​

This can be done simply by adding {{ "{" }} other stuff {{ "}" }}.
