Custom Commands
Dashboard-authored commands that just reply with a fixed response, as a slash command, a prefix command, or both.

Overview
Custom Commands lets staff create their own simple commands from the dashboard, with no code, that reply with a fixed text response. Each one can be registered as a slash command, a classic prefix command (like !rules), or both at once.
This is the right tool for FAQ-style one-liners you want available as an actual command rather than a tag someone has to remember to recall. See Tags & Reminders for the lookup-based alternative.
