Green-bot can't post or give roles

Green-bot does not post a message, a card or a file, or does not give a role? Fix the channel and role permissions with short steps.

Updated Oct 30, 2026 · 1 min read

Green-bot posts messages and gives roles only when Discord allows it. Fix the permission that is missing.

Green-bot does not post

  1. Right-click the channel, then Edit Channel.
  2. Open Permissions and add Green-bot or its role.
  3. Turn on View Channel, Send Messages and Embed Links, then save. Channel permissionsChannel permissions

See Why can't Green-bot post?. If the channel is not in the dashboard list, see Why isn't my channel in the list?.

Cards and files are missing

Welcome cards, images and transcripts are files. Turn on Attach Files for Green-bot in that channel. See Why can't Green-bot post the card?.

Mentions do not ping

Pinging everyone, here, or a role that is not mentionable needs the Mention Everyone, Here, and All Roles permission in that channel. See Why can't Green-bot mention everyone?.

Green-bot does not give a role

  1. Open Server Settings, then Roles.
  2. Open the Green-bot role and turn on Manage Roles. See Why can't Green-bot give roles at all?.
  3. Drag the Green-bot role above the roles it must give. See Why can't Green-bot give these roles?. Role orderRole order

Some roles can never be given

Green-bot never gives a role with a moderation or admin permission. It cannot give a role that belongs to an integration either. See roles that are blocked, a role with a moderation permission and a managed role.

Send a test

After the fix, use Send a test in the top bar of the message editor in the dashboard to make Green-bot post the real message.
