All AutoMod rules require the bot to be connected to your server.

Enter the number of days new members have to receive the role (1–30 days, default 5).
Optional: Set a custom kick reason
Enter a custom message that appears in the Discord audit log. Leave empty for the default reason.
Link Blocking
Deletes messages containing links in channels you select. You can also block attachments and stickers, allow same-server Discord links, grant bypass roles, and customize the warning message.Select channels
Use the Block Links In picker to add the channels where links should be blocked. Only the channels you add are enforced — all other channels are unaffected.

Are server admins exempt from AutoMod?
No. Server admins are not automatically exempt. For link blocking, add your admin role as a bypass role. For role enforcement, make sure admins already have the required role. New member spam protection won’t affect existing members — only those who joined within the configured time window.
