Staff applications
Use Staff applications in the Quarky dashboard to wire Discord channels and manage application cycles. Member-facing apply flows stay in Discord (/staff application); cycle admin (create, activate/deactivate, update positions) is dashboard-only.
Setup
- Open your server in the dashboard → Staff applications → Setup.
- Choose Apply for staff channel — where the public apply message with position buttons is posted.
- Choose Application responses channel — where Quarky opens a thread per cycle for staff to review submissions.
- Save. Both channels must be different normal text channels, and the bot needs permission to send messages and manage threads in them.
Cycles
On Staff applications → Cycles:- Create cycle — pick 1–5 open positions. Quarky posts the apply message, creates a responses thread, and connects Google Form webhooks. You cannot create a new cycle while another is active.
- Toggle last cycle — activate (repost apply message, enable forms) or deactivate (remove apply message, disable forms).
- Update active cycle — change which positions appear on the live apply message.
/staff cycle list, details, and members in Discord for read-only ops during review.
