# Staff applications

> Open, close, and collect staff applications from members.

Use this system when members should apply through a consistent form instead of
sending unstructured direct messages. Setup requires **Manage Server**.

## Commands

| Command          | Use it to                       |
| ---------------- | ------------------------------- |
| `/staff setup`   | Configure the application flow  |
| `/staff enable`  | Open applications               |
| `/staff disable` | Close applications              |
| `/staff reset`   | Reset application configuration |
| `/staff apply`   | Submit an application           |

## Recommended process

1. Run `/staff setup` in a staff-only channel.
2. Add at least one question, then choose the accepted role, review channel, and
   staff-manager role in the setup panel.
3. Run `/staff enable` only when the team is ready to review submissions.
4. Close the intake with `/staff disable` after the application window.
5. Keep a consistent review rubric and tell applicants when to expect a
   response.

Questions are entered in one setup field separated by `|`, for example:

```text theme={null}
How old are you? | Why do you want to be staff? | What would you improve?
```

The staff-manager role is the role that can accept or reject applications. Keep
the review channel private and ensure the accepted role sits below Hedwig's
highest role if the bot must assign it.
