# Notifications

Notifications post FluxerList events into a channel of your choice, so your team sees what's happening without opening the website. Some come from the bot itself, and some come from fluxerlist.com.

> **Info**
>
> Setting this up needs **Manage Server** or **Administrator**. Anyone can view the current status.

## What you can be told about

| Kind               | Setting name | Sent when                                        | Comes from     |
| ------------------ | ------------ | ------------------------------------------------ | -------------- |
| 🚀 Bumps           | `bump`       | Your server was bumped                           | The bot        |
| ⏰ Bump reminders   | `reminder`   | Your 12 hour bump cooldown is up                 | The bot        |
| 🗳️ Votes          | `vote`       | Someone voted for your server                    | fluxerlist.com |
| ⚠️ Invite problems | `invite`     | Your listing's invite expired or stopped working | fluxerlist.com |
| 📋 Listing updates | `listing`    | Approvals, flags, and removals                   | fluxerlist.com |
| 📢 Alerts          | `alert`      | Announcements from the FluxerList team           | fluxerlist.com |

By default you get every kind.

## Set it up

#### Pick a channel

```text
!nt #server-updates
```

`!nt` is short for `!notifications`. The bot also creates a FluxerList webhook in that channel, which makes posts branded and lets the website deliver events directly.

#### Send a test

```text
!nt test
```

The bot posts a sample notification through the real delivery path, so a good test means real ones will land.

#### Choose only the kinds you want (optional)

```text
!settings notify bump,reminder
```

Use `!settings notify all` to go back to everything.

To stop notifications, run `!nt off`.

## Check the status

Run `!nt` with nothing after it. It shows the current channel, how posts are delivered, and which kinds are on (✅) or off (⛔).

## Your personal settings

Separate from server notifications, the bot can DM you directly. You control those DMs with `!usersettings` (aliases `!mysettings`, `!preferences`, `!prefs`). Anyone can change their own, and the settings are stored on your linked FluxerList account, so they follow you across every server. You need a linked account: sign in at fluxerlist.com first.

```text
!usersettings
!usersettings listingdm off
!usersettings 3 on
```

With no arguments it shows the panel. Give a name or number plus `on` or `off` to change one. Give just a name to see its current value. Everything defaults to on.

| # | Setting      | Controls                                                                                     |
| - | ------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 1 | `awarddm`    | A DM when you earn a big FL Token reward. `!awarddm` still works as a shortcut               |
| 2 | `listingdm`  | DMs about your bot and server listings: approved, denied, removed, flagged, and under review |
| 3 | `alertdm`    | Team announcements sent to you as alerts                                                     |
| 4 | `permdm`     | A DM when you run a command somewhere the bot can't reply                                    |
| 5 | `showtokens` | Whether you show on token leaderboards                                                       |

> **Info**
>
> Messages from FluxerList staff about your own server are always delivered, whatever these are set to.

## If posts look plain or don't arrive

#### Posts come from the bot, not a webhook

The bot needs **Manage Webhooks** in that channel to create the FluxerList webhook. Grant it and run `!nt repair` for branded posts. Without it, the bot still posts directly.

#### The test post fails

The bot needs **View Channel** and **Send Messages** in the channel you chose. Grant them, or pick a different channel. If the webhook was deleted, `!nt repair` recreates it.

#### I'm not getting vote or listing alerts

Those come from fluxerlist.com, not the bot, so your server must be listed and a channel must be set with `!nt`.
