setting it up
- on the dashboard
- in discord
open the dashboard, pick your server and go to responders. each reply has what somebody says, how it’s matched, what drain says, and two switches: answer as a reply, and delete their message.
exact, start or word
how the trigger is found.
exact (the default) answers only when the whole message is the trigger, which is how a !rules style command works. start answers a message that begins with it. word answers it anywhere, as a whole word: hi answers “oh hi there” but never “this”switch
reply to the message that set it off, instead of just posting
switch
delete the message that set it off. drain needs manage messages
{user.mention}, {server}, {choose:a|b} for a random line, and a whole {embed} layout.
- case never matters, and when two triggers match, the longer one answers
- the same trigger answers once every few seconds per channel, so it can’t be used to make drain spam
- a reply only ever pings the person who set it off
- up to 50 auto-replies a server
