What are Automated Messages?
Automated Messages send announcements, hints and PMs in ER:LC on a schedule, and run checks like :membercheck and :vehiclecheck. They're powered by Melonly Reminders, so you set them up on the Reminders page, not the ER:LC Integration page.
Reminders only run while at least one staff member is on duty.
Reminder Types
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Announcement | A large message shown to all players |
| Hint | A smaller message at the top of the screen |
| Private Message | A PM sent to a specific player |
:membercheck | Checks that every player in game is in your Discord server. Can kick non-members. |
:vehiclecheck | Checks that players are driving vehicles they're allowed to use. Can kick or warn players in restricted vehicles. |
Each reminder can run once or repeat on a schedule.
