Automation

Automation lets you set up custom "if this, then that" rules for your server. When something happens, Mody can check a few conditions and then take one or more actions.

Turn it on

Enable Automation from the Modules page, then open the feature and create an automation in the visual builder.

The three parts

Every automation reads as a sentence: when this happens, if these things are true, do this.

1. Trigger is the event that starts it, such as a member joining, a message being posted, or a reaction being added.
2. Conditions are optional filters that must pass for the automation to run, such as "only in this channel" or "only if the message contains a link." Leave them off to run on every trigger.
3. Actions are what Mody does, such as sending a message, adding or removing a role, or logging the event. You can chain several actions in order.

Building one

The builder walks you through picking a trigger, adding any conditions, and stacking up actions. Save it and it starts running on the next matching event. You can disable an automation without deleting it, which is the safest way to pause something while you adjust it.

Start simple and confirm one automation behaves the way you expect before layering on conditions. Several small, focused automations are easier to manage than one that tries to do everything.
