Getting Started

Install in Discord

Add Lockit to your Discord server and use the /lockit slash commands.

Install

  1. Open the Lockit Discord install link.
  2. Choose the server to add it to. You need the Manage Server permission on it.
  3. Click Authorize.

Lockit joins the server and its /lockit commands become available.

Commands

On Discord, Lockit works through slash commands only. Type /lockit and Discord shows the options. Resource names autocomplete as you type, and replies come with buttons for the next step.

CommandWhat it does
/lockit new name:staging-dbAdds a resource
/lockit lock resource:staging-db duration:2 hoursLocks it for you for two hours
/lockit releaseReleases your lock
/lockit listLists every resource and whether it's free

duration takes plain times like 2 hours or 30 minutes, and also times of day like till 6pm. Leave it out to use the resource's default (see Lock durations and defaults).

/lockit new sends lock and release updates to the channel you ran it in. Run it in the channel your team watches.

Resource names

  • Names match regardless of case: Staging-DB and staging-db are the same resource.
  • Names can be up to 50 characters.
