Automations

Module for creating custom automations and commands​

Automations let you build your own commands and actions without writing code. Each automation has a trigger that decides when it runs, and actions that decide what happens. You can add conditions to only run actions for some members, like members with a certain role.

The Automations page in the Monni dashboard listing automations with their trigger and a short summary

How an automation works​

Here is a complete example. When someone sends a message starting with !daily in #general, Monni checks whether they have the Server Booster role. Boosters get 50 coins and a thank you message. Everyone else is told what daily coins are for.

An automation with a message sent trigger, a conditional action that checks for the Server Booster role, and actions that give points and send messages
  • Trigger | When the automation runs. See the triggers below.
  • Conditions | Checks like "member has role" or "member has points". Add them with the Conditional action, which runs one list of actions when the conditions pass and another when they don't.
  • Actions | What Monni does, like sending a message, giving a role or changing points. Read more on the Actions and conditions page.

Triggers​

  • Message sent | Someone sends a message, optionally only in some channels or starting with a command.
  • Member joined | Someone joins your server.
  • Member left | Someone leaves your server.
  • Member verified | Someone finishes verification.
  • Timer | Runs again and again at a fixed interval.
  • Schedule | Runs at set times, like every Monday at noon.
  • Manual | Only runs when you start it from the dashboard or the API.

Running actions on many members​

To run actions on many members at once, like giving everyone with one role another role, use the For each member action. Read more in Mass actions.
