# Sticky messages

A message that stays at the bottom of a channel: after a quiet period the bot removes its old copy and posts it again.

## How it works

The bot watches the channel. Once nobody has posted for the delay you set (10 to 3,600 seconds, default 300), it deletes its previous sticky and posts a fresh one at the bottom. It never reposts after every message, so a busy channel is not flooded; the sticky comes back as soon as chat calms down.

## Commands

- **/sticky set text:<message>**: Create or replace the sticky in this channel. Options: channel, title, delay (seconds), color (hex), image (https URL). Text up to 1,800 characters.
- **/sticky pause paused:true|false**: Keep the message on record but stop reposting for now, for example during an event.
- **/sticky remove [channel]**: Delete the sticky and stop it.
- **/sticky list**: Every sticky message in the server.
- **Sticky Messages page (dashboard)**: Automation → Sticky Messages: the same fields with a preview.

## Good to know

- **One per channel**: Setting a new sticky in a channel replaces the old one.
- **No pings**: The sticky is an embed; mentions render but do not notify anyone.
- **Layout**: Follows the server's V1 or V2 button style like every other bot message.

> Note: The bot needs Send Messages, Embed Links and Manage Messages in the channel so it can remove its previous copy.
