DiscordPostBot

---

DiscordPostBot is a selfhosted solution that makes it easy to automatically send messages to the Discord channel on behalf of the user via the Discord User API (NOT BOT API) by working with the user's token. This allows you to easily and quickly automate message sending on other people's servers on which you are not an administrator.

Cases of use

• Are you a Discord server administrator, and do you want to notify users about important events on your behalf, and not on behalf of bots? DiscordPostBot helps you!
• Are you have a clan in the game and do you want to announce the recruitment? DiscordPostBot helps you!
• Are you a dirty spammer, and you want to ruin someone's life again? DiscordPostBot helps you! (please, don't use my solution for these purposes)

Features

• Scheduled message sending.
• Sending a message to multiple channels.
• Sending a message via user token.
• Setting a random message sending time.
• Attaching any files to a message.

Configuration

discord.token=Enter your token here

# - Discord channels id's.
# If you want to specify multiple channels to send a message, you need to write them separated by commas.
# Refer to github (https://github.com/daedal-dev-ru/DiscordPostBot to receive instructions on how to obtain a token.
# Example: 0000000000000000000,1111111111111111111
discord.channels.id=0000000000000000000,1111111111111111111

# Frequency of message sending (in seconds).
# Can't be less than or equal to 0.
# Example: 3600
discord.message.sending.period=30

# Send first message on program start instantly? true - yes, false - no
# If true, the program will send the first message as soon as it starts, then it will start sending the message
# after a delay specified in the discord.message.sending.period
# If false, the program will send the first message only after the delay specified in discord.message.sending.period
discord.message.send.on.start=true

# - Message sending random delay (in seconds).
# If you don't want to randomize sending period, you'll need set this value to 0.
# This feature adds random delay to period.
# Example: if period is 3600 and randomization range is 30, frequency of message sending will be from 3600 to 3630 seconds.
discord.message.sending.period.random.delay=0

# - Message text.
# If you want to send a multiline message, you need to separate the lines using "\n"
discord.message.content=Hello, World!\nCreated by humans

# - Paths to message attachments.
# If you want to attach multiple files, you need write them separated by commas.
# Examples: attachments/example.jpg,attachments/example2.png
discord.message.attachments=attachments/example.jpg,attachments/example2.png
