Custom Branding (white-label bot)

Run Phantom under your own bot token + name + avatar. Members see your bot, not Phantom — but you get all of Phantom's features.

What it means in practice

  • Your server's slash commands are namespaced under your bot's name (the user types /youbrand kick instead of /pmod kick).
  • Welcome messages, ticket replies, mod-action embeds — all show your bot's avatar + name.
  • Members never see the word "Phantom" in your server.

Pricing

Custom Branding is positioned as a premium feature at launch, but is free to use during Phantom's early-access period. No subscription required today — just paste your bot token and Phantom does the rest.

See Pricing & early access for what changes when launch pricing lands.

How it works

  1. You create a Discord application on the Discord developer portal — your own bot, your own token.
  2. On the Custom Branding dashboard, paste the bot token.
  3. Phantom validates the token and fetches the bot's identity (username, avatar, application ID).
  4. Phantom runs your branded bot on its infrastructure — the token is stored securely and never shared.
  5. Slash commands re-register under your bot's identity. Members see them as /yourbrand-*.

Where it lives

Dashboard: Settings → Custom Branding.

Settings

SettingWhat it does
Bot tokenThe token from Discord developer portal. Stored encrypted.
PresenceStatus (online / idle / dnd) + activity ("Watching the community").

Token security

  • Tokens are stored encrypted, never logged, and never appear in any dashboard response.
  • Token rotation: paste a new one, Phantom validates and swaps within a few seconds.
  • If you ever need to revoke access, regenerate the token on the Discord developer portal and Phantom immediately stops being able to act as your bot.

Limits

  • 1 custom bot per server.
  • Token rotation is rate-limited (you can't change it 50 times an hour).

Member experience

Members in your server experience your branded bot identically to how they'd experience Phantom's main bot:

  • Same commands (renamed)
  • Same dashboard (still accessed via phantombot.gg)
  • Same response speed
  • Same uptime

Switching to or from custom branding is seamless from the member side — no re-onboarding.

Permissions

  • custom_branding.view — see the current config + bot identity
  • custom_branding.edit — paste / rotate / clear the token

Tips

  • Pick a memorable bot name. Members will see it every day; "MyServer Helper" is less catchy than "Argus" or "Sentinel."
  • Set the avatar from your Discord developer portal — Phantom uses the avatar Discord shows for your bot.
  • Don't share the token. Treat it like a password. If it leaks, regenerate in the Discord developer portal and paste the new one here.

Phantom is a product of Hydra Labs. The bot is run as a managed service; you do not need to host it yourself.
