A timed event is an alarm clock for your bot. When it rings, your event runs, without anyone typing anything.

Step 1: Make the timer

  1. Open any builder and press Timed Events on the thin bar on the left.
  2. Press Add New Timed Event.
  3. Give it a Name, like Daily tip. This name shows in the trigger list when you build an event.
  4. Pick how often it rings:
    • Interval: again and again forever, every so many seconds, minutes, hours or days. The shortest is 10 seconds.
    • Schedule: once a day at a set time in UTC. Use Only on to pick weekdays, like only Mondays.
  5. Save it. It shows in the list of Active Events.
UTC is world time. If you live somewhere else, work out the difference first. For example, 18:00 UTC is 20:00 in South Africa.

Step 2: Make the event

  1. Open Events and make a new event.
  2. Pick your timed event, Daily tip, as the thing that starts it.
  3. Add a block that sends a message to a channel and write your message.
  4. Save and switch it on.

Ideas

  • A different tip each day: use Random chance checks with different messages.
  • A daily question of the day.
  • A reminder every 2 hours to bump your server.
A timed event that an event still uses cannot be deleted. Delete or change the event first.
