Utility
Reminders, AFK, polls, keyword highlights, sticky messages, channel automation, forum management, timezones and stat counters.
Utility is a set of small tools for members and staff. Each one has its own settings group and can be turned off.
Reminders
/remind me when:2h30m text:Check the oven reminds you in the channel when the time comes, or by DM with dm:true. Times use m, h and d, such as 10m, 2h30m or 3d.
AFK
/afk [message] marks you as away. Anyone who mentions you gets your message, and your nickname gets the Nickname Prefix. When you talk again, AFK is cleared and you see who mentioned you.
Polls
/poll question:Movie night? answers:Friday | Saturday | Sunday posts a poll with a button for each answer, up to 10. Turn on multiple to allow more than one pick. The poll closes after hours, or when the host or a member with Manage Messages presses End Poll.
Keyword Highlights
/highlight add keyword:release sends you a DM when someone says the word in a channel you can see. Highlights skip channels you are already chatting in and wait between alerts in the same channel.
Sticky Messages
A sticky message is reposted at the bottom of its channel after Repost After Messages new messages, so it is always easy to find.
Channel Automation
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| Auto Reactions | Reacts to new messages in a channel, optionally only ones with attachments. |
| Auto Publish | Publishes new messages in announcement channels. Publish Bot Messages includes bots. |
| Auto Threads | Opens a thread under each new message in a channel. Names can use %user% and %content%. |
Forum Management
Posts a starter message with a Mark Solved button when a new forum thread is created, keeps threads in Keep Threads Unarchived In from archiving, and provides /thread solve, /thread close, /thread reopen and /thread rename.
Timezones
Members save their IANA timezone (such as America/New_York or Europe/London) with /timezone set. Anyone can check a member's local time with /timezone view or compare their own time against another member's with /timezone compare.
Stat Counters
A counter renames a voice channel with a live number, such as Members: %members%. Templates can use %members%, %humans%, %bots%, %boosts%, %tier%, %channels%, %roles% and %emojis%.
Discord only allows two renames per channel every ten minutes, so counters update every ten minutes.
