A Raid-Helper alternative for raid and event sign-ups
Raid-Helper is widely known for raid and event sign-ups on Discord. If you’re comparing a Raid-Helper alternative, BotGG Parties covers the same job — a post with role slots members click to join — and adds a thread, voice checks and attendance tracking, set up in the web console.

What guilds need from a Raid-Helper alternative
Raid leaders need a roster that fills itself: a post with a title, a start time and slots per role (tanks, healers, DPS, or whatever your game uses), members signing up with one click, and a clear picture of who is missing when it’s time to start. After the event, it helps to know who actually showed up.
BotGG Parties is built around that routine. /party create opens a short form — title, description, one role per line with its capacity, footer and start time — and posts the roster. Admins can save templates so a weekly raid takes seconds to post.
How Parties run a raid from sign-up to attendance
The post updates live as people join. What happens around it:
- One-click roles — a button per role (or numbered sign-ups in the thread for very large rosters), plus Leave and Bench.
- Bench and auto-promotion — when a role is full, members go to the bench and move up automatically when a spot opens.
- A thread per party — every sign-up, leave and switch is logged there, and it’s the place for questions.
- Voice checks —
/party voicelinks a voice channel and shows who signed up but isn’t there yet;/party pingcan mention just the missing ones. - Attendance — taken automatically after the start (present, absent, late) or with
/party attendance take;/party statsshows each member’s record. - Reminders and auto-close — a reminder before the start in the thread (optionally by DM), and the party closes on its own later.
Reminders and LFG for everything around the raid
For recurring announcements — “raid reset tonight”, “guild meeting on Sunday” — Reminders let you schedule messages once, daily or weekly from the console, and members can set their own with /remind me. For quick groups outside scheduled raids, Games adds /lfg create cards with join buttons, a notify role and an optional temporary voice channel.
See the Parties feature page for every option, or follow the raid sign-ups guide to post your first roster.

How to switch to BotGG
Invite BotGG
Add BotGG with the invite link and make sure it can post, create threads and read your raid voice channels.
Set up Parties in the console
In the console, enable Parties, choose where parties may be posted and who can create them, and save templates for your regular raids with their roles and slot counts.
Run a test party
Post a party in a staff channel, sign up with a couple of accounts, fill a role to try the bench, and link a voice channel to see the voice check.
Move your schedule over
Post the next real raids with BotGG. Let events already scheduled in the old bot finish, then remove its recurring setup so members don’t see two sign-ups for the same night.
Frequently asked questions
Is BotGG a good Raid-Helper alternative?
If you need raid and event sign-ups with role slots, a bench and reminders, BotGG Parties covers that use case, and adds voice checks and attendance tracking. Run a test party before switching.
Can I reuse my raid compositions?
Yes. Save them as templates in the console (name, roles, emoji and capacity), then pick the template in /party create.
Can a member sign up for more than one role?
By default one role per member per party; admins can allow multiple roles in the settings.
Does it work for games other than MMOs?
Yes. Roles are free text, so the same flow works for raids, scrims, tournaments, game nights or any event with limited slots.
Is BotGG affiliated with Raid-Helper?
