How it works

Here’s what happens once you’ve finished setup.

  1. 1
    Member

    Invokes a configured trigger.

  2. 2
    NightCrew

    Checks module, role, channel, and cooldown.

  3. 3
    Response

    Posts text or an embed and begins cooldown.

Example

EXAMPLE
Rules command

Trigger `rules`, embed title `Server Rules`, link to #rules in the response, everyone allowed, every channel allowed, 30-second cooldown.

Troubleshooting

Command never responds

Check exact trigger spelling, module state, channel restriction, and role restriction.

Members spam it

Add a per-member cooldown and restrict command channels.
