# AutoMod

> Manage Discord AutoMod rules from the dashboard, with extra actions.

AutoMod scans messages as they are sent and acts on anything that breaks your rules. Technified lets you manage these rules from the dashboard and add extra actions on top of what Discord provides.

Open **Roblox > Moderation** in the sidebar and click **AutoMod**.

## Create a rule

  <Step title="Configure the trigger">
    Set up what the rule detects.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set the actions">
    Enable one or more actions and save.
  </Step>

## Exempt roles and channels

Exclude specific roles or channels from a rule. Messages from exempt roles or in exempt channels are not checked.

## Managing rules

* Edit a rule's trigger settings or actions at any time.
* Toggle a rule on or off without deleting it. Disabled rules are saved but do not fire.
* Delete a rule from its delete icon.

## Logging

Every AutoMod trigger is logged. With logging enabled, your log channel shows which rule fired, what the message said, who sent it, and the action taken. All triggers are also visible in the Moderation section.
