¶ Overview
Cakey Bot can automatically post custom messages when users join/leave or are banned. You can have Cakey Bot announce for one or all of these events and set different messages (or image banners) for each event.
¶ Enable/Disable Announcements
In order to start posting announcements, you will need to designate a text channel as the announcement channel. You can do this by setting it in the web dashboard. In order to disable announcements, simply select "None" instead of a specific channel in the dropdown.
Supported announcement event types:
- User Joined
- User Left
- User Banned
- User Boosted the server
Cakey Bot will need access to Send/Read messages in the channel you designate for announcements. Cakey Bot may also require
Use External Emojipermission if you include external emojis in the announcement messages.
¶ Message Announcements
You can set/modify messages and the announcement channel via our web dashboard. Just log in, select a server, and head on over to the "Announcements" page. Once here you can select a channel as well as setting the custom message. You can set a message for any one of these events, some of them or all of them. You can also set different channels for each event type.
In order to have Cakey Bot send the messages, you will have to set a channel for Cakey Bot to post to. You can find more information about this below.
¶ Image/Banner Announcements
You can also use a fancy banner picture for your join/leave announcements too! In order to set an image banner as your join/leave message just toggle the "Image Banner" setting to enabled. You can also choose a custom banner image to use if you have a premium subscription. Custom banners must be uploaded to PostImg and the PostImg URL can then posted in the "Banner Background Image" field.
