Modmail is similar to Reddit's Modmail, both in functionality and purpose. It serves as a shared inbox for server staff to communicate with their users in a seamless way.
This bot is free for everyone and always will be. If you like this project and would like to show your appreciation, you can support us on Patreon, cool benefits included!
When a member sends a direct message to the bot, Modmail will create a channel or "thread" into a designated category. All further DM messages will automatically relay to that channel; any available staff can respond within the channel.
Our Logviewer will save the threads so you can view previous threads through their corresponding log link. Here is an example.

Where can I find the Modmail bot invite link?
Unfortunately, due to how this bot functions, it cannot be invited. The lack of an invite link is to ensure an individuality to your server and grant you full control over your bot and data. Nonetheless, you can quickly obtain a free copy of Modmail for your server by following one of the methods listed below (roughly takes 15 minutes of your time).
You can host this bot on Heroku.
Installation via Heroku is possible with your web browser alone. The installation guide (which includes a video tutorial!) will guide you through the entire installation process. If you run into any problems, join our Modmail Discord Server for help and support.
