Sticky Messages

Keep channel reminders visible with message thresholds, cooldowns, and controlled reposting.

Updated October 21, 20261 min read

Getting started

1

Choose a channel

Create a sticky rule with the reminder content and optional title for the selected server.

2

Control reposting

Choose how many messages trigger a repost and the minimum cooldown. Use conservative values to keep conversation readable.

3

Enable and observe

Enabled rules are queued for the bot. Verify the actual channel after the cooldown, then inspect the rule's state.

4

Recover carefully

Pause a rule to stop future work. If delivery needs review, check Discord before acknowledging it. Removing a rule preserves existing Discord messages.

Settings reference

Use this reference when you need to check what a setting does.

Message threshold

Messages required before a reminder becomes eligible for reposting.

Cooldown

Minimum wait between reposts.

Pause

Stops future work; an in-progress send may finish.

Review

Acknowledges an uncertain delivery after staff inspect the channel.

How it works

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

  1. 1
    Staff

    Configures and enables a channel rule.

  2. 2
    NightCrew

    Waits for the threshold and cooldown, then attempts a repost.

  3. 3
    Staff

    Checks attention states before allowing another attempt.
