By the end, you'll have

  • A live member, boost or message counter in a channel name or a message

Before you start

  • Dreamliner with Manage Channels (for channel names) or Send Messages (for messages).
  • Manage Server, so you can open the dashboard.

A classic: a locked voice channel at the top of your server that reads "Members: 1,532". Counters keeps numbers like that up to date for you. It's free, with no limit.

Channel names

Renames a voice or text channel with the number.

Live message

An embed that updates itself.

Add a counter

Show a live number.

  1. On the dashboard, open Utilities and click Counters. Switch on Enabled.
  2. Press Add counter and give it a Label, like "Members".
  3. Choose the Metric and the Display, then pick the channel.
  4. Set the Format, like "👥 Members: {value}", and press Save.
The Counters page on the dashboard
Add a counter and choose what it tracks and where it shows.
SettingOptions
MetricMembers (includes bots), Messages (counted from when the counter is made), Boosts, or Custom (a number you set).
DisplayMessage (an auto-updating embed), Text channel name, or Voice channel name.
FormatText around the number; {value} is the number with commas, like 1,532.
Refresh (minutes)For channel names: how often it's renamed, every 5 minutes at most (Discord limits renames).

Good to know

  • Renaming, turning off or deleting a counter resets it, so a Messages counter starts again from 0.
  • Changes while Dreamliner is offline are picked up on the next join, leave or boost.
  • There are no commands; counters live on the dashboard. The Autopilot button can make them for you.

You're set up

What you just did

  • Added a counter with the metric and display you want

Common questions

The channel name isn't changing.

Discord only allows a few renames per channel every 10 minutes, and Dreamliner needs Manage Channels on that channel.

Is this the counting game?

No, that's Counting in the Fun category.
