An event is something that happens on its own in your server. Your bot can listen for it and do something when it happens. DogeBot has more than 100 events to pick from.

Some examples

​
How to make an event

1

Make a new event

Press Events in the sidebar, then New event.
2

Pick what it listens for

The event list has groups down the side, starting with All events. Pick a group, or type in Search events to find one fast, like join or message.
3

Add blocks

The Event Builder opens. Add Steps and Checks under the first block and connect them, just like a command. Events have no Inputs, because nobody types anything.
4

Save and switch it on

Press Save. Make sure the event is switched on in your Events list.

​
Switching events on and off

Use the switch next to an event in the Events list or in the builder’s side list. An event that is off shows “Off, it won’t run” and does nothing until you switch it on again. It takes about 10 seconds to take effect.

​
Timed events

A timed event runs by itself on a clock. Make one in the builder’s Timed Events panel:
  • Interval: again and again, every so many seconds, minutes, hours or days (at least 10 seconds).
  • Schedule: once a day at a time in UTC, and Only on the weekdays you pick.
Then pick it as the trigger of an event. Full guide: Scheduled messages.
