Step 2: Configure via Web Dashboard

Once Promy is in your server, use the web dashboard to configure your server:

Web Dashboard Requires Manage Server

Configure various aspects of your server's Promy presence:

  • Bump Channel: Set where other servers' ads appear
  • Description: Write your server's ad text (max 1000 characters)
  • Tags: Add category tags (3 for free, 5 for Plus)
  • Color: Set a custom hex color for your ad embed
  • Image: Upload a banner image (Plus feature)
  • Custom Emojis: Use your server's custom emojis (Plus feature)
  • Review Notifications: Configure where review alerts are sent

Step 3: Create Your First Bump

Once configured, use /bump to advertise your server across the entire network!

Pro Tip: Use /preview before bumping to see exactly how your ad will look to others!

Advertising Network

How the Network Works

Promy operates on a fair exchange model:

  1. When you bump your server, your ad is broadcast to all connected servers' bump channels
  2. In return, your bump channel receives ads from other servers in the network
  3. Every bump helps both you and the network grow - it's a win-win ecosystem
  4. The more active servers in the network, the more exposure everyone gets

Types of Advertising

Manual Bumping

Use /bump to manually advertise your server. Has a 2-hour cooldown between bumps.

Auto-Bump (Promy Plus)

Promy Plus subscribers get automatic bumps every 2 hours. Your server is advertised 24/7 without any manual input!

Partnership Advertising

Partner ads are permanent placements in dedicated partnership channels, automatically updating with your latest server info.

Important: Make sure your ad complies with Discord's Terms of Service and Promy's Community Guidelines. Inappropriate ads may result in removal from the network.

Partnerships

Partnerships provide permanent, dedicated ad placement between two servers. Unlike bumps that appear temporarily, partnership ads remain visible 24/7.

Creating a Partnership

Available Actions:

  • Partner with Server: Send a partnership request using a Server ID
  • Manage Requests: View and handle incoming/outgoing partnership requests
  • View Partners: See your current active partnerships
  • Remove Partner: End a partnership

How Partnerships Work

  1. Server A sends a partnership request to Server B using their Server ID
  2. Server B receives the request and can accept or decline
  3. Once accepted, both servers' partnership ads appear in each other's partnership channels
  4. Partnership ads automatically update every 6 hours with latest server stats (members, boosts, name, icon)
  5. Partnerships remain active until one party removes it

Partnership Benefits

Pro Tip: Look for partnership opportunities with servers that have similar sizes and themes for maximum effectiveness!
