Conditional Role Rules for Discord

Give a role automatically when a member matches your conditions — on one server or across your whole network. And test any rule before it touches a single person.

Handing out roles by hand works until it doesn't. Someone gets verified and needs the member role; a subscriber loses their perk and nobody notices for a week. Role Rules moves that work to the bot: describe the condition once, and CloudMod keeps the roles matching it.

What a rule does

A rule watches the roles someone already has and gives or takes another role when it matches. The important half is that it keeps checking — when the condition stops being true, the role comes off again on its own. You are describing a state you want to hold, not firing a one-time action.

Conditions combine with AND: all of them have to be true at the same time. One rule can add several roles and remove several others, so "promote to Member and drop the Unverified tag" is a single rule, not two.

Test it before it touches anyone

This is the part worth knowing about. Every rule can be run against a set of roles first, and the test writes nothing — not to Discord, not to your logs. You see exactly which roles would be added and removed, on which server, and nothing happens until you say so.

Use it with @everyone, or with a role most of your members already carry. That is how you catch the rule that would quietly touch your entire server, before it does.

Rules that span your network

A rule can apply on the server you built it on, or on any other server in your network. That is the difference between a role bot and a network: someone earns a role once on your main server, and the access follows them everywhere without a second rule and without anyone copying it over.

When two rules disagree

Rules get a priority, and higher numbers win when two of them want different things for the same role. If a pair of rules would undo each other forever, CloudMod notices the loop, pauses the lower-priority one and tells you — instead of flipping a role back and forth on your members.

Getting started

Open the Sub-servers page in your dashboard and build a rule: name it, add the conditions, pick the roles to add or remove. Run the test, look at what it would do, then switch it on. The classic one-to-one role links keep working alongside the new rules — both are calculated together, so nothing you already set up needs redoing.
