New

See which tickets need staff right in the channel list

Wallu can now mark ticket channels with their status, so you spot the ones waiting for your team at a glance:

  • 🔴-ticket-0042 - Wallu escalated the ticket to staff
  • 🟡-ticket-0042 - a staff member replied and Wallu stepped back

Pick your own markers or put them after the name. /resume removes the marker again. Turn it on under Ticket System in settings (Wallu needs the "Manage Channels" permission) - more in the ticket automation guide.

Improved

A redesigned home dashboard, now with ticket stats

The panel's home page now shows what Wallu answered for you at a glance:

  • Tickets - for servers using ticket automation, how many tickets Wallu replied in and how its replies split into answered, escalated to staff and closed
  • Daily charts follow your own timezone
  • A layout that works on phones and scales up to large screens

Fixed

No more "Wallu may be down" when your panel login expires

An expired login now takes you straight to the Discord login, and short connection blips (like during an update) are retried quietly instead of showing an error. If something really is wrong, the panel says so and gives you a Try again button.

Removed

Web search has been retired

Wallu no longer searches the web when your documents don't have the answer, and the web search page is gone from the panel. Answers come from your own FAQs, documents and connected repositories. Want Wallu to know about a website? Import it as a document.

Improved

The Documents page now updates live

When an import finishes or another admin changes a document, Documents shows it right away - no reload needed. Anything you are editing at the time is kept, and status labels like "Processing" update as soon as the work is done.

Improved

Channels Wallu can't see are now labelled "Hidden Channel"

Discord is hiding the names of channels a bot has no access to. Instead of a confusing #___hidden___, the panel now shows these as Hidden Channel (no access) and keeps them out of the channel pickers. Want Wallu to work there? Give it the "View Channel" permission in that channel.

New

Set up Wallu from any channel with /wallu-help

Ask Wallu's setup assistant to explain or change your settings, FAQs and documents with /wallu-help - no admin panel or setup channel needed.

  • Only you see the replies
  • Every change shows what it will do and waits for your Confirm
  • Applied changes are also posted to your staff notifications channel
/wallu-help request:Disable yourself in #general
/wallu-help request:Add an FAQ explaining how to appeal a ban

By default only administrators can use it.

Improved

Wallu can still answer clearly documented questions after escalating a ticket

Once a ticket is handed to staff, Wallu used to stay silent until mentioned. It now still answers follow-up questions your FAQs and documents clearly cover, so users aren't left waiting for something that's already written down. This is on by default for all servers; turn off Allow Confident Answers When Escalated under Ticket System in settings if you prefer full silence.

July 2, 2026

Improved

Role mentions in answers now ping the role

When your instructions tell Wallu to point users to a role like @Support, the answer now pings that role instead of writing it as plain text. Only roles you name in your instructions or custom actions can be pinged, never @everyone. Custom instructions

Improved

Wallu now knows today's date

The default bot instructions now include the current date and weekday, so questions like "is the event this weekend?" get sensible answers. Servers that changed their instructions can add {current_date} and {week_day} themselves - see prompt placeholders.

Answer channel improvements

When answers go to a separate answer channel, Wallu leaves a note with a link to the answer in the original channel, and you can choose to use the answer channel only when Wallu is mentioned.
