A lot of Fanhouse creators have a Discord server for their fan community. Fanhouse built a bot that assigns Discord roles for Fanhouse fans so that creators can offer special perks exclusively to their Fanhouse subscribers.
Here’s everything you know about how to set this up for your server.
Log into your Fanhouse account.
Click on your profile icon in the top right corner and hit Settings.
On the Settings page, navigate to Integrations → Linked accounts. Click on the Link Discord Account button.
Click on the invite link to install the bot on to a server you are an admin on.
In the server, type in /sync
followed by the unique code from your Fanhouse settings page.
Roles only get assigned when you run the /sync
command, so if a new fan joins the Discord, you need to re-run the command to assign them the “Fanhouse Fan” role.
/sync
command with your creator_id
every time you want new fans to get the role.We wrote a tutorial for that! Send them this link.
Q: Will this bot help me identify my free subs or just my paying subs?
A: This bot will assign the “Fanhouse Fan” role to all free and paying subs in your Fanhouse who:
Q: One of my Fanhouse fans isn’t getting the role even though I set the Discord bot up. What’s going on?
A: There are a few things to try:
/sync
command with your user ID from Settings → Integrations → Linked accounts. You need to run the /sync
command to assign new fans the role.Q: What’s stopping other random people in my Discord server from assigning a role to their Fanhouse fans?
A: You can only use the bot if you have “Manage Server” permissions in a server (i.e.. if you’re an admin). We assume that most of your fans don’t have “Manage Server” permissions in your server, so this bot wouldn’t work for them.
Q: If someone unfollows me on Fanhouse, will they automatically lose their Discord role?
A: At the moment, re-running the /sync
command won’t remove the “Fanhouse Fan” role from fans who no longer follow you on Fanhouse. However, as a server manager, you can manually remove roles from your server members. Note that if you manually remove the role from someone who is currently a Fanhouse fan, this user will regain the role the next time you run /sync
.
