Upcoming Message

note

This is a premium feature.

This command creates a message on your server that updates itself on every event action (event create, event delete, user sign up, etc.) It basically creates a "live event ticker" where you can always find the next X events on your server.

note

This message is not pinned in any way. It might be a good idea to put this message into a channel where nobody has write permission.

The /upcoming message create command has 2 optional parameter:

  • channels: A list of channel (#channel-1, #channel-2, ...) that should be tracked by the upcoming message. If left empty, all channels are tracked.
  • amount: The maximum amount of events displayed in the message. Default and maximum value is 10.

Example input:
/upcoming message create channels:#test amount:10

Upcoming Events
Below you find a list of the next 2 upcoming events.
Event 1
Event: message - #channel - 🔒
Event Start: [event start time]
Event End: [event end time]
Sign Ups: Total: X - Role: Y - Status: Z
Event 2
Event: message - #channel - 🔓
Event Start: [event start time]
Event End: [event end time]
Sign Ups: Total: X - Role: Y - Status: Z

As you can see, it pretty much looks like the upcoming events message. The only big difference is that the indicators for your personal sign up state is missing.

note

Due to Discord API limitations, the upcoming message updates only once every 5 minutes! This means:

  • (Minute 0) User 1 signs up => The upcoming message will be edited.
  • (Minute 1) User 1 signs off again => The upcoming message will not display that change.
  • (Minute 1) User 2 signs up => The upcoming message will not display that change.
  • (Minute 2) User 3 signs up => The upcoming message will not display that change.
  • (Minute 2) An admin changes the title of the event => The upcoming message will not display that change.
  • (Minute 5) The upcoming message will update itself showing the right sign up counts and the new event title.
