Creating a Giveaway

You can launch a giveaway two ways. The dashboard gives you the full set of options and a live entrant view; the slash command is the quick path.

From the dashboard#

Open Configuration → Giveaways and fill in the create form:

Option	Notes
Prize	What you're giving away. Shown in the giveaway message.
Winners	How many members win. Up to 10 free, 50 with Premium.
Duration or end time	How long it runs, like 1d, 12h, 1w.
Channel	Where it posts. Defaults to your selected channel.
Requirements	Required / blacklist roles, and the Premium options. See Requirements and Entries.
Custom embed	Style the giveaway message to match your server.
Button label / emoji	Override the default 🎉 Enter button.
Schedule start	Post the giveaway later, at a set time (Premium).

Press create and Zira posts the giveaway (or holds it until its scheduled start).

With the slash command#

/giveaway start <prize> <winners> <duration> [channel] [required-role] [starts-in]

Option	Notes
prize	What you're giving away. Shown in the giveaway message.
winners	How many members win.
duration	How long it runs, like 1h, 2d, or 1w.
channel	Where it posts. Defaults to your active channel (set with /channel).
required-role	A role members must have to enter.
starts-in	Schedule the start for later, like 1h or 2d (Premium).

The slash command covers the common case, including a scheduled start; the dashboard exposes the full requirement arsenal and the custom embed.

Scheduled start#

A scheduled giveaway is created now but posts at the time you set, then runs for its duration from that point. You can schedule from the dashboard's Schedule start field or with the slash command's starts-in option.

Duration limits#

Permissions Zira needs#

• Send Messages and Embed Links in the giveaway channel.
• Read Message History so Zira can edit the giveaway message to show the winners and the live count.
