MsgPlanner Bot is designed to join your Discord server with minimal permissions. To make the most of it, follow these simple steps.

1. Setting Up Bot Permissions

After inviting MsgPlanner Bot to your server, you need to grant it view permissions for private channels to work correctly. Currently, only users with Manage Server permissions can use the bot (future updates will allow role-based access).

Verify the Bot’s Presence

Make sure MsgPlanner Bot is listed among the channel members

2. Configuring the Time Zone

When scheduling messages, the bot cannot automatically detect your time zone. To avoid scheduling errors, it’s crucial to set your personal time zone. This configuration applies:

  • To the user (not the guild).
  • As the default time zone when using the web interface for scheduling.

How to Set Your Time Zone

  1. Use the slash command /settings in the Discord app.
  2. Click on the “Change Timezone” button.
  3. Select your time zone from the list (limited to 25 common options).
  4. Receive a confirmation message for the update.

3. Troubleshooting Common Issues

1. The slash command does nothing

  • Check if the bot is online:
    • Make sure MsgPlanner Bot is online and invited to your server.
    • Verify that direct messages from server members are enabled in your Discord settings.

2. The bot sends direct messages instead of replying in the channel

If the bot sends you a direct message, follow the instructions provided. There are two common issues:

  1. The bot doesn’t have permission to view the channel:
    Grant the bot view permissions for the channel.
  2. The bot doesn’t have permission to write in the channel:
    Grant the bot write permissions for the channel.

3. The bot isn’t present in the channel

If MsgPlanner Bot isn’t listed among the channel members:

  • Check whether the bot has the necessary permissions to access the channel.
