What Harbor does

Harbor helps teams engage fandoms and communities: bring member information together, run engagement activities, and understand results. A project is one community workspace. It can serve a game, creator, brand, or another fandom. Use the workspace switcher at the top of the sidebar to choose the project you want to manage.

Your first useful session

  1. Connect Discord during onboarding if your community already has a server. Complete the authorization flow in the original browser session.
  2. Open Audience and inspect imported members and roles. Members do not need Harbor accounts to appear in the Discord CRM.
  3. Open Insights to explore available reports. Imported Discord profiles and Harbor account metrics are different populations.
  4. Choose a small activity in Gamification, such as a quest, vote, or event. Configure its requirements and rewards before making it available.
  5. Configure your member-facing experience in Web Hub V2 or Discord Bot.
