Discord's built-in events fire one notification at creation, then go silent. The `/events` command watches your scheduled events and re-announces them at every interval you set — 24 hours out, 1 hour out, the moment they start. Same Discord events. Way more attendance. No Stripe needed. [Add to Discord](https://paybotapp.com/r/) 100% free • No Stripe needed [See how /events works](#how-it-works) One pattern rule covers a whole recurring series. Free even on the free plan. ![Three PayBot event reminder embeds in Discord — blurple 24-hours-out, gold 15-minutes-out, green starting-now](https://paybotapp.com/images/free-tools/events-three-colors.png) ## Why Discord Events Get Ignored - You scheduled an event a week out — nobody saw it. The notification fired once and got buried. - @everyone-ing before every event feels spammy, and you forget to do it half the time anyway - Half your members think the event is tomorrow because they're in different time zones - You host the same coaching call every Tuesday and the same six people forget every Tuesday - You're doing the host's job AND the marketing team's job — and the event itself is the easy part The `/events` command takes the marketing-team part off your plate. Set the intervals once; PayBot pattern-matches your event names and announces them every time, from now until you turn it off. ![PayBot reminder embeds for a Weekly Coaching Call — color-coded by urgency from blurple to gold to green](https://paybotapp.com/images/free-tools/events-three-colors.png) ## How `/events` Works It plugs into Discord's native scheduled events. You tell PayBot which event names to watch and when to announce them. PayBot does the rest in the background. 1 ### Create your event in Discord like normal Use Discord's built-in scheduled events — a coaching call, an AMA, a tournament. Give it a name pattern you'll reuse for the recurring version (e.g. "Coaching Call - May 8"). 2 ### Run `/events` once, set the rules Pick a name pattern (anything containing "Coaching"), pick an announcement channel, pick the intervals — 24h, 1h, 15min, at-start, or any combination. One config covers every event that matches. 3 ### PayBot announces from then on Reminders fire at every interval you picked, color-coded by urgency. Each one shows the title, description, and a one-click join link. At start time, PayBot drops the voice channel mention so members can hop straight in. ## What Makes `/events` Different ### Plugs Into Discord's Native Events No separate calendar to maintain. Use Discord's built-in scheduled events feature exactly like you do today — PayBot listens and amplifies. ### Reminders at Every Interval You Want 24 hours before. 1 hour before. 15 minutes before. The moment it starts. Pick any combination — set different intervals per event type. ### One Rule, Whole Recurring Series Match by name pattern. "Coaching Call - May 8" and "Coaching Call - May 15" both fire under the same config. Configure once; never touch it again. ### Color-Coded by Urgency Far-out reminders are blurple. Within 15 minutes go gold. "Starting now" is bright green. Members scan the channel and instantly see what's hot. ### One Click to Join Every reminder includes the event link. At start time, PayBot also posts the voice channel mention so members hop straight into the room. ### Free, No Stripe Needed Run `/events` without connecting a payment account. Free even on the free plan. No subscriber count, no upsell paywall. ## Servers That Get the Most Out of It ### Coaching & Course Communities **What's happening:** A weekly coaching call every Tuesday at 2pm. The same six people forget every Tuesday. **What PayBot does:** 24h ahead. 1h before. Members who'd otherwise forget show up. One pattern rule covers every Tuesday call going forward. ### Trading & Live Signal Servers **What's happening:** Pre-market briefings, live trading rooms, weekly recap calls. Trading windows are time-sensitive. **What PayBot does:** 15-minute warning so members are ready when the call goes live. A green "Starting now" alert beats hoping people remembered. ### Gaming & Hobby Servers **What's happening:** Weekly raid nights, watch parties, tournament times. Casual servers where members drift if not pulled back. **What PayBot does:** Day-before reminder, then 1-hour heads-up. Lurkers come back for the social moment instead of forgetting it existed. ## What Permissions Does PayBot Need? For `/events` to work, PayBot needs: - **View Channel + Send Messages:** In the channel where reminders post - **Embed Links:** So event reminders render with title, description, and join link - **View Scheduled Events:** Granted by default with the standard install The `/events` dashboard is admin-only. Members can't change which events get announced or where, only see the reminders. ## More Free Community Tools in PayBot Adding PayBot for `/events`?

Yes — that's the whole point. You create events the normal way and PayBot announces them on the schedule you set. No extra calendar. ### How does pattern-matching work? You give PayBot a name pattern (case-insensitive). Any event whose name contains that text gets matched. So "Coaching" catches "Coaching Call - May 8" and every weekly recurrence after. ### Can I have different reminder schedules for different event types? Yes. Each pattern has its own announcement channel and intervals. Coaching calls can ping 24h+1h, while AMAs only ping at start. ### Will it spam if I set lots of intervals? No. Each interval fires once per event. PayBot tracks what's already been sent and won't re-announce. ### What happens at the start of a voice event? PayBot posts a green "Starting now" embed with a join link, plus a follow-up message tagging the voice channel so members can click straight in. ### Does this require Stripe or a paid plan? No. `/events` is free even on the free plan. Stripe is only needed if you want PayBot's paid-membership features. ## Stop Hosting to Empty Rooms Free forever. No Stripe. Set the intervals once and every event from here on out gets the reminders it deserves. [Add to Discord](https://paybotapp.com/r/) 100% free • One command setup [How It Works](#how-it-works)
