Control who can share Discord invites and prevent unwanted promotions.
SecurityBot’s Invite Filter blocks messages that contain Discord invite links unless the invite has been explicitly approved. This stops users from self-promoting, redirecting members to scam servers, or spamming partner invites without permission.
How to Manage Allowed Invites
Add or remove a Discord invite
To allow a specific Discord invite, you must provide the full invite URL, not just the code.
/allow_invite [invite URL]
Example:
/allow_invitehttps://discord.gg/JWy9bSqpYJ
If the invite is not already allowed, it will be added to your allowlist.
If the invite is already allowed, running the same command again will remove it from your allowlist.
Once an invite to a server has been allowed ALL invites to that server will now be allowed by SecurityBot.
View all allowed invites
To see which invites are currently allowed:
/chat_filters invite view
Select “Allowed Invites” from the list in the embed to view the full list of whitelisted Discord links.
Best Practices
Only allow invites to servers you own, have officially partnered with or know is safe.
Routinely review your allowed invites using /chat_filters invite view.
Combine this feature with a designated shill channel (using /settings shill_channel) to restrict where invite links are posted.
Monitor flagged or blocked invite attempts through your SecurityBot logs to stay ahead of misuse.
Only users with the Admin role or Discord’s Administrator permission can manage allowed invites.
