Public roadmap

April Bot roadmap

Planned improvements for visual onboarding, role automation, analytics, and day-to-day server management.

Current direction

The roadmap is organized around the product areas that have the biggest impact on active Discord communities.

Improve welcome, goodbye, and first-impression flows around the dashboard editor.

Make role setup easier to understand, validate, and adjust as communities grow.

Bring analytics and activity context closer to the places staff already manage.

These are the main product areas being shaped for future April Bot updates.

Active focus
Welcome image editor
Move welcome setup toward a richer dashboard editor with better text, avatar, and layout control.
- Custom canvas sizing
  Support welcome designs beyond one fixed layout.
- Multiple text layers
  Place more than one text block with clearer controls.
- Avatar placement
  Position member avatars with normal, rounded, or circle styles.
- Separated direct messages
  Keep welcome channel setup and direct-message setup easier to reason about.
Planned improvements
Reaction role setup
Reduce setup confusion around one of April Bot's most-used automation workflows.
- Clearer setup errors
  Add examples and guide references when configuration fails.
- More selection rules
  Support stricter choices, such as one role per message or role-based limits.
Planning
Analytics context
Make server activity, member movement, and usage signals easier to review from April.
- Richer command output
  Expand analytics responses beyond partial summaries and snapshots.
- More activity reports
  Cover reactions, voice activity, active channels, and member movement.
Scoped
Autorole timing
Give staff more control over when default roles are applied to new members.
- Delayed role assignment
  Add a configurable delay before roles are assigned to a new member.
Scoped
Goodbye flows
Bring leaver messages closer to the personalization available in welcome flows.
- Welcome-flow parity
  Replicate the most useful welcome setup options for goodbye messages.
