Custom commands

In Custom commands, each command has these settings:

  • Triggered by: Slash command (appears in the / list with its Description) or Keyword (Green-bot answers when a message contains it).
  • Reply: what Green-bot answers.
  • Only the member sees the reply: a private reply.
  • Wait between two uses: a delay before the same member can use it again.
  • Who can use it: Everyone by default, or some roles.
  • Role it gives: for a button. The button gives the role, and a second click removes it.

Keyword commands need the Message Content intent. See Message Content intent.

Timers

In Timers:

  • Name: only you see it.
  • Post in: the channel.
  • Repeat: how often it posts. A timer can also stop after some posts with Stop after.
  • Message: what Green-bot posts.
  • Mention or Ping: no mention, or a role.
  • Delete the previous one: only the latest message stays in the channel.

The time zone of timers is set in Settings, in Time zone. See Tour of the dashboard.

If Last post failed shows on a timer, check the channel permissions. See Green-bot can't post or give roles.

If you cannot add another item, delete one you do not use. See Why can't I add another one?.
