Question/Quote of the Day
QOTD allows for automated posts + optional pings at a set time interval. For instance, you can have the bot submit a formatted question every day at 10am.
All information can be seen via !qotd help
, but a typical flow to set up:
!qotd init #channel
- only admins can do this, and it sets the configuration channel for QOTD. The next steps can only be done here.!qotd channel #post_channel
- specify which channel to post questions to!qotd time 10am
- set when to start posting. This relies on having !timezone
configured (see time module).!qotd timeInterval 24
- set post frequency (in hours). This defaults to 24, and at this stage, the bot will start posting.The bot will post questions that you provide; you can add, list, and delete questions via addQuestion
, questions
, and deleteQuestion
.
You can also configure templates and images that the bot will use for each post to format the responses.
