Why PulseRoster fits ESX servers

ESX has been around forever. Most long-running FiveM servers have an ESX codebase stretched in 20 custom directions, and the last thing you want is another script that touches esx_jobs or your shared config. PulseRoster is specifically designed to avoid all of that.

  • No ESX resource to install. PulseRoster is a web application at roster.mypulsetech.com. Your server resources are untouched.
  • No shared config edits. Your ESX jobs config (config.Jobs) stays exactly as-is. PulseRoster models personnel at a layer above the in-game job system.
  • No database changes. We don't add tables to your MySQL database. PulseRoster has its own storage.
  • Discord as the bridge. Integration happens through Discord OAuth and role sync. Your Discord server is almost certainly already the source of truth for your community — PulseRoster just formalizes it.

ESX handles the game. PulseRoster handles the people.

Think of it as two separate layers. ESX is your gameplay layer — jobs, money, vehicles, inventory, the stuff that happens in GTA V. PulseRoster is your community-management layer — the HR side of who your members are, what rank they hold, whether they're meeting activity requirements, who's on LOA right now.

ESX keeps doing

  • • In-game job grades and salaries
  • • Money and bank
  • • Inventory and items
  • • Vehicle garages
  • • Gameplay scripts and commands
  • • Whatever custom stuff your server added

PulseRoster takes over

  • • Department rosters (LSPD, BCSO, EMS, Fire, etc.)
  • • Custom rank structures per department
  • • Subdivisions (SWAT, K9, Traffic, Hazmat…)
  • • Certification tracking with expirations
  • • Activity-hour requirements per rank
  • • LOA request / approval / auto-completion
  • • Disciplinary system with appeals
  • • Audit trail for everything

Setting it up on an ESX server

  1. 1Create your community at roster.mypulsetech.com/register. Free tier covers 3 departments and 25 members.
  2. 2Connect your Discord server through the PulseRoster settings. Members will log in via Discord OAuth — no new passwords to manage.
  3. 3Create your departments that match your ESX job structure — LSPD, BCSO, EMS, Fire, etc. The PulseRoster ranks are independent of ESX grades, so you can model real-world ranks (Officer, Sergeant, Lieutenant…) without worrying about ESX grade numbers.
  4. 4Import your roster from a spreadsheet via CSV upload (Standard/Pro), or add members manually.
  5. 5Map ranks to Discord roles. When someone gets promoted in PulseRoster, their Discord role updates automatically. If you use a Discord-to-ESX bridge, that change can cascade to ESX job grades — but most servers keep those two layers loosely coupled.

Common Questions

Does PulseRoster work with FiveM ESX?
Yes. PulseRoster is framework-agnostic and works cleanly alongside ESX. Your ESX jobs and in-game gameplay stay exactly as they are. PulseRoster handles the personnel side — ranks, certifications, LOA, activity tracking, disciplinary records — via Discord role sync. No server-side install or ESX modifications required.
How does PulseRoster integrate with ESX jobs like police, ambulance, mechanic?
Your ESX jobs stay the same in-game. PulseRoster sits alongside as the out-of-game personnel system. When a member is promoted in PulseRoster, their Discord role updates automatically. You can then use any Discord-to-ESX bridge to propagate those roles to in-game job grades, or simply manage the in-game side separately (most common).
Do I need to edit ESX shared files to use PulseRoster?
No. PulseRoster is a web application and does not require any ESX resources, shared config edits, or database changes. It runs entirely outside your FiveM server.
