Linking an Experience

To fully utilize Sentinel’s moderation tools, you’ll need to link your Roblox experiences to your Workspace. This enables seamless moderation across your games and Discord server. Follow these steps to link a game and bind the necessary API key.

Step 1: Link Your Roblox Experience

To begin linking a game (place) to your Workspace, use the following command in your Discord server where the bot is active:

/addplace {placeid} {placename}

• Replace placeid with your game's Place ID (Not the universe or experience Id, the id you see on the games page as a player).

• Replace placename with the name of your game.

For example:

/addplace 1234567890 Pet Simulator X

This command adds your Roblox game under your Workspace for global moderation and analytics.

Step 2: Create and Bind an Open Cloud API Key

Next, you need to create a Roblox Open Cloud API (OCAPI) key for the group or Roblox profile that owns the game. This key is required to enable communication between Sentinel and your game for features like publishing messages.

API key has to be under the Group that owns the game; if a group does not own the experience then the owner of the game must make the key!

1. Log in to your Roblox account and create an Open Cloud API key.

2. Ensure that the key has the following permissions:

   • messaging-service: publish

   • user-restrictions: write & read

3. Set the accepted IP addresses field to:

   0.0.0.0/0

4. Set the Expiration date as: No Expiration

Once you’ve created the key, bind it to your experience by running the following command in Discord:

/bindapikey {placeid} {key}

• Replace {placeid} with the ID of the place you are binding the API key to.

• Replace {key} with the API key you generated.

For example:

/bindapikey 1234567890 ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ

Step 3: Key Security and Storage

Rest assured, your API key is stored securely within Sentinel. We use AES-256 encryption (Military Grade) to protect your key, meaning no one can access it without the proper decryption key. Not even Sentinel employees have access to production secrets—only Metatable, the CEO, holds the necessary credentials to decrypt the sensitive information. This ensures that your key is safe from abuse or protentional leaks.

That’s It!

Once the key is bound, your experience will be fully linked to your Workspace, allowing you to leverage Sentinel’s advanced moderation tools. Enjoy seamless integration and powerful control over your Roblox and Discord communities.
