Autopublish

Crosspost announcement messages automatically

Autopublish crossposts every new top-level message in an announcement channel to the servers that follow it.

Aethor publishes the original message without adding a second status message. For example, an announcement like this appears in following servers:

New tickets dashboard and faster suggestions.

Setup

  1. Give Aethor View Channel, Send Messages and Manage Messages in the announcement channel.
  2. Open the dashboard’s Settings → Auto-publish page, choose the channel and select Add channel.
  3. Post a new top-level message and check one of the servers that follows the channel.
The configured Auto-publish channels and the announcement-channel picker

You can also toggle a channel with /autopublish. Running the command again with the same channel removes it.

Verify the setup

Post another top-level message in the announcement channel. The original message should appear in a following server. Replies remain in the source channel and are not crossposted.

Limits and permissions

  • It only works in Announcement (News) channels. Regular text channels are ignored.
  • Free servers can enable 5 channels, Premium 10.
  • Replies are skipped. Only top-level messages are published.
  • Viewing, adding and removing channels are manager-level capabilities by default. A delegated role needs the corresponding Auto-publish capabilities.
  • Discord applies its own crosspost limits. If Discord rejects a publish, that message is not retried automatically.
