OcteraHow to set up Discord verification
A verification gate keeps bots and raiders out by making every new member prove they’re human before the server opens up. Here’s how to add one with Octera — a captcha you design yourself, plus account checks at the door.
Pick how members verify.
Octera supports a one-click button gate or an image captcha. Start light and tighten it if you’re a target.
- Button gate — one click to verify; stops most low-effort bots with no friction
- Image captcha — a code you design yourself for stronger protection
- Unverified members stay walled off until they pass
Turn away throwaways at the door.
- Set a minimum account age so brand-new accounts can’t verify straight away
- Require an avatar to filter out default-icon bot accounts
- Pick a fail action — kick, ban or re-verify — for accounts that don’t pass
Go live from the dashboard.
- Configure the whole gate visually — no commands to memorize
- Choose the verified role members receive once they pass
- Pair it with anti-raid filters for full coverage
Verification — common questions.
How does Discord verification work?
A verification gate walls new members off from the rest of your server until they prove they’re human — usually by clicking a button or solving a captcha. Once they pass, Octera gives them the verified role and the rest of the server opens up.
What is the best verification method?
For most servers a one-click button gate stops low-effort bots with no friction. If you’re a frequent raid target, switch to an image captcha for stronger protection. Octera lets you design either from the dashboard.
Can I block new or suspicious accounts from verifying?
Yes. Set a minimum account age and require an avatar so brand-new throwaway accounts are turned away before they ever reach the captcha, and choose a fail action — kick, ban or re-verify — for accounts that don’t pass.
Is verification free in Octera?
Yes. Verification and the captcha gate are part of the free core bot, alongside the rest of Octera’s security. There’s nothing to pay to protect your server.
Wall off the bots.
Add Octera, design a verification gate, and let only real members into your server — free.
