Discord Invite Tracker Bot: See Who Invited Who

The problem with Discord's own invites

Discord shows you a list of invites and how many times each was used. It does not tell you which invite a particular person used, and it forgets who was behind a join. If you want to reward your best recruiters or notice a partner that sends only throwaway accounts, you need a bot to keep the record.

How a bot can tell

Discord never says which invite a new member used. What it does expose is the use count of every invite. Noxyr keeps those counts and, when someone joins, credits the invite whose count went up by one. That is why the bot needs the Manage Server permission. Without it, new joins cannot be matched to an inviter, though nothing else breaks.

Two joins cannot be tied to a person: a vanity URL join, and an invite the bot could not see. Both show as unknown.

What /invite-tracker shows

/invite-tracker user

Pick a member, or leave it empty to see yourself. The card shows their invite total, how many joined, how many left, how many were fake, their rank, who invited them, and the latest people they invited with whether each is still here. Anyone can run it.

/invite-tracker top

The ten members who invited the most people, each with their joined, left and fake counts. If nobody has invited anyone since tracking began, it says so. Anyone can run this one too.

How the count works

So a member who brings in ten people, three of whom leave and two of whom were brand-new accounts, has five invites. It is a fair count, and it is hard to inflate by inviting throwaway accounts.

Tracking starts when Noxyr starts recording. Members who joined before then show as joined before tracking started.

Turning it on and what it stores

Invite tracking runs as part of the Referrals module, which is on by default. For each member who joins, Noxyr records whose invite they used, when they joined and left, and whether the account was under 7 days old. The records are kept while Noxyr is in the server. The privacy policy is the authoritative statement.

Only public Discord information is involved. Noxyr does not look up IP addresses or anyone's other accounts.

Turn the count into rewards

Tracking tells you the numbers. The Referrals module turns them into a program, with personal links, a stay timer and reward roles.

• /referrals link gives each member their own invite link.
• /referrals setup sets the mode, log channel, a hold time of 1 to 720 hours and a minimum account age of 0 to 365 days.
• /referrals reward-add gives a role once someone reaches a number of counted referrals.

One referral counts per member per server, ever, and self-invites and bots never count. Leave and rejoin through another link and it does not count twice.

Reading the numbers sensibly

A high joined count with a low invites count is a warning sign. It means most of the people someone brought in either left or were brand-new accounts. Look at the Latest invited list on the user card, where each entry shows whether the person is still here, left, or joined on a new account.

Use the top list to thank real recruiters, not to start a race. If you attach a prize to invites, people will look for loopholes, so set the referral hold time and minimum account age before you announce it. A stay timer means an invite only counts if the member is still around after the hold hours have passed.

Set it up in three steps

1. Give Noxyr the Manage Server permission, or Administrator, which covers it.
2. Run /invite-tracker top after a few joins to confirm it is counting.
3. Tell members they can check their own numbers with /invite-tracker user.
