How to invite the bot?

My friend has your bot running on his server and he said he only had to press invite on some website.
How can I use the bot? I don't have any coding experience etc. I only want to get the deal notification on my server... Thanks!

Help a noob out (can't get the bot to work)

Hey there! First of all: thank you so much for creating this. A while back I succesfully made the bot work in my own channel with someone there to tell me how to do it. I now have another channel and have to do it on my own.

Is there a step by step guide anywhere of how to get it to work? I managed to invite the bot, but that;'s all.
I'm really terrible at stuff like this.

I read the bot was offline, but on my personal Discord I see it posted Watchdogs 2 for free on the 12th of july. So it does seem to work?

Thanks all!

is there still a support server?

sorry for posting here, the bot was only available from this site: https://dsc.cool/bot/396466836331429889

I am trying to set it up in a new server but the bot never seems to respond to commands. is something wrong with it?

Fix interaction handling

After interaction is created discord expects a first response within 3 seconds. Some operations (especially webhook commands) might take longer which leads to a situation where user doesn't receive any response from the bot.

Interaction handling should be refactored (at least for the webhook command) to send initial respond to discord as a first step, which will extend interaction lifetime to 15 minutes https://discord.com/developers/docs/interactions/receiving-and-responding#responding-to-an-interaction

Remove all mentions

It's there a command to remove the mention?
I had it set to 'here' and was told it was a bit annoying so I set mention to '@' but not sure how to just remove the mentions without resetting up the bot.

Application did not respond

The bot hasn't worked for a while and triggering any command returns the application did not respond.

[Suggestion] Ability for the bot to automatically Publish messages in Announcement channels

Since a webhook can't do that by itself, it needs someone to press the button. Or crosspost it via the API.
A hacky solution would be to listen to the target channel and crosspost whatever message the webhook posted, since the actual webhook trigger is on a separate resource.

Could be a nice thing so we won't have to click the "Publish" button every time the bot posts something.

Also show game sales which are not 100% reduced in price

Currently, the bot only shows games which are 100% reduced in price (free). I would like an option to also get notifications for normal sales 😉
