Modmail is a self-hosted Discord bot that acts as a shared inbox between server staff and members, similar to Reddit's Modmail. Member DMs are relayed into staff-visible threads, with logging via a companion Logviewer and extensibility through plugins.

Use cases

  • run a modmail system for my discord server
  • let members contact moderators through DMs that staff can see
  • replace a ticket bot with a shared inbox for staff
  • keep searchable logs of mod-user conversations
  • self-host a discord moderation bot with plugins
  • auto-close inactive modmail threads

When to choose

  • you run a Discord community and staff need a shared, organized way to handle member DMs
  • you want conversation logs with shareable links via Logviewer
  • you need a highly customizable, plugin-extensible bot you host yourself
  • you prefer a free, open-source (AGPL-3.0) alternative to paid ticket bots

When to avoid

  • you want a one-click public bot invite with no hosting
  • you need a full ticketing system with forms and SLAs rather than DM-based threads
  • you cannot provide a MongoDB instance and 24/7 hosting
  • your project is not on Discord
