You choose how it looks (title, color, a saved design), who it looks like it comes from (a name and picture through a webhook), and whether the staff checks each one first. Anyone can **reply anonymously** in a thread under a confession. * The confession goes out as a card in the color you picked (green by default) with its ID under it. It shows the name `Anonymous` and a picture: the one you chose, else the picture Petto has in your server, else the usual one of Petto. * The panel with the **Confess** button always stays at the bottom: after each confession it is sent again under it. * A button under it opens a form to reply. The replies go in a thread and are anonymous too. * If the staff checks first, the confession waits in a review channel with **Approve** and **Reject** buttons. * Petto keeps who confessed only for the staff, so they can see who it was or block them. You can turn that off: then nothing is kept. ![Anonymous confession number 48 with its ID and the Reply anonymously button, followed by Petto's panel with the Confess button](https://mintcdn.com/wikipetto/LoL7QuPJ71yd9F_N/images/discord/community/confessions.webp?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=LoL7QuPJ71yd9F_N\&q=85\&s=54870a0f6c15565524c4b1fc70fda18b) In Discord: a confession as the channel shows it, with the panel sent again under it. > [accordion] 1.

confessions turned on again. Members confess with `confess` (a picture can be attached) or with the **Confess** button of the panel, which opens a form. The answer is only for them, so nobody sees who used it: from the button it is a message only they can see, and with `!confess` Petto deletes their message and sends the answer in a DM. ## Who can do what | Action | Who | | - | - | | Confess and reply | Everyone (unless blocked) | | `approve`, `reject`, `list` | The staff role, or who has **Manage Server** | | `setup`, `set`, `config`, `panel`, `enable`, `disable`, `reveal`, `delete`, `block`, `unblock` | Who has **Manage Server** | ## Settings Change them with `!confession set ` or in the dashboard (**Confessions**). ![The Confessions page of Petto Land with 48 posted, 3 waiting and 5 rejected, and the settings](https://mintcdn.com/wikipetto/PiFwt6dDUZHBNDT7/images/dashboard/community/confessions.webp?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=PiFwt6dDUZHBNDT7\&q=85\&s=62d70feef87cfa624f3eb3edd0d548ea) Dashboard → Community → Confessions: the counts and every setting of the module. ![The switches: the staff checks each confession first, send it with its own name and picture, anonymous replies, confessions can have a picture, the confess command works, and keep who confessed, all on](https://mintcdn.com/wikipetto/X8GdsHqKNBomKSYc/images/dashboard/community/confessions-dash-switches.webp?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=X8GdsHqKNBomKSYc\&q=85\&s=d34bc544cd1345383363a6a876dc831e) Dashboard → Community → Confessions: the switches of the module. | Setting | What it does | | - | - | | `review` | The staff checks each confession before it shows | | `review_channel` | The channel where the staff approves or rejects | | `log_channel` | A channel where what the staff does (approve, reject, look at who made one, block, delete) is written | | `staff_role` | A role that can approve and reject | | `command` | The `confess` command works (off leaves only the panel) | | `images` | A confession can have a picture | | `replies` | Anonymous replies in a thread | | `keep_author` | Keep who confessed, only for the staff | | `webhook` | Send through a webhook with its own name and picture | | `webhook_name`, `webhook_avatar` | The name and the picture (a link) it shows | | `title`, `footer` | The title and the small text under each confession | | `color` | The color of the card, as a hex like `a5ea7a` | | `button`, `reply_button`, `panel_text` | The texts of the buttons and of the panel | | `cooldown` | Seconds to wait between confessions (60 by default, 0 for none) | | `design` | A design saved in **Embeds** to use instead of the usual card | ![In #mod-log, Confessions log writes that kira approved confession q9cbe-u4m1z and that liam looked at who made confession k7m2x-p9qra](https://mintcdn.com/wikipetto/rok-7yv8v3ZrWquM/images/discord/community/confessions-log.webp?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=rok-7yv8v3ZrWquM\&q=85\&s=5d0aa416534662ad1155631b118bbc14) In Discord: what the log channel gets when the staff approves a confession or looks at who made one. ## Your own design Pick a design of the Embeds page and the confession uses it. Inside it you can write: | Variable | Gives | | - | - | | `{confession.id}` | The ID, like `si2tr-foytm` | | `{confession.number}` | The number in this server | | `{confession.content}` | The text | | `{confession.image}` | The picture, empty if none | | `{confession.link}` | The link to the message | | `{confession.channel}` | The channel | | `{confession.created}`, `{confession.created_time}` | When it was made | The server variables like `{server_name}` work too. Examples for each one are in [Variables](https://wiki.petto.sbs/resources/scripting/variables.md#confessions). > [!NOTE] > > Petto needs **Manage Webhooks** in the channel to send with its own name and picture. Without it, the confession goes as the bot and still works. This documentation is built and hosted on [Mintlify](https://mintlify.com), a developer documentation platform.
