Auto nicknames

Nicknames from a template – when someone joins or receives a certain role.

SetupDashboardRolesAutomation

Auto nicknames sets nicknames automatically from your template. New members are recognisable at a glance ([New] Mila) and everyone sees who belongs to the team (🛡 Mila).

In the dashboard#

  1. Open Auto nicknames in the dashboard (/dashboard/<server>/auto-nicks).
  2. On join: turn on the switch, enter a template (default [Neu] {username}) and click Save.
  3. On roles: turn on the switch, use Add rule to pick a role and a template, then click Save. Up to 10 rules are possible.

The preview next to each template shows what your own account would be called.

Placeholders#

PlaceholderMeaning
{username}Discord name (e.g. mila_moon)
{name}Global display name (e.g. Mila)

yurna never uses the server nickname as the base – otherwise prefixes like 🛡 would pile up with every new role.

Rules in detail#

  • If someone receives several rule roles at once, the topmost rule wins.
  • Remove again when the role is removed: yurna resets the nickname – but only if it is still exactly the one yurna set. If the member still has another rule role, that template applies.
  • Nicknames are shortened to 32 characters (Discord limit).

Warning

yurna needs the Manage Nicknames permission and a role above the member’s highest role. yurna never renames the server owner or bots.
