Boost Thank-You Message: Automatically Honor New Server Boosts

How Kage detects new server boosts and posts a thank-you message: placeholders for boost level and count, channel fallback, limits of detection and troubleshooting.

Last checked for accuracy: 14 October 2026

When a member boosts your server, Kage automatically posts a thank-you message, for example with the current boost level and the number of boosts. The module is small, has no commands and needs only a switch, a channel and a text. If you also reward boosts with XP, you find that under Levels and XP.

Requirements

  • Access to the module: You sign in to the dashboard with Discord and need the Manage Server permission (or access granted for this module).
  • Kage's permissions in the channel: Send Messages.
  • Without a chosen channel: Kage uses the server's system channel, which you set in Discord's server settings. If there is none, Kage posts nothing.

How detection works

Discord does not report a new boost as an event of its own. Kage recognizes it by the fact that a member's boost timestamp is newly set:

  1. A member who had not boosted the server before boosts it now.
  2. Kage checks whether the module is active.
  3. Kage picks the channel: the configured one or the system channel.
  4. Kage replaces the placeholders in the text and posts the message.
  5. The post appears in the module's Logs tab.

Important:

  • If a member has already boosted the server and boosts a second time, that does not count as a new start, and there is no further message.
  • If someone ends their boost and boosts again later, Kage can honor them again.
  • Even without this module, Discord shows its own boost system message, provided it is enabled in the server.

The message text

You can use these placeholders:

PlaceholderResult
{member}Mention of the booster
{level}The server's current boost level (0 to 3)
{count}The current number of server boosts

The default text is "🚀 Danke {member} für den Boost! Der Server ist jetzt Level {level} ({count} Boosts)." (German). If you use curly braces other than these three, Kage posts a simple thank-you sentence instead of your text.

Checking the result

  1. Check the setting: Turn the module on, choose the channel and save.
  2. Wait for a boost: A real boost is needed; there is no test by command. Then check the channel and the Logs tab.
  3. Check the text: The placeholders are replaced by mention, level and count.

Troubleshooting

No thank-you message arrives

Check that the module is active, that a channel is chosen or a system channel is set, and that Kage may write there. It has to be a new boost: a second boost by the same member triggers nothing.

The message appears in the wrong channel

Without a chosen channel, Kage uses the system channel. Choose a fixed channel in the dashboard.

Only a simple thank-you sentence appears

Your text contains curly braces other than {member}, {level} and {count}. Remove them.
