Standup Cop. A Discord bot for tracking async standup posts in a dedicated #standups channel. Rewards users who post daily; chastises users who post more than once per day, or otherwise go off-topic.
Forked and extended from talrnu/discord-standup-streakbot
As users post messages, the bot will update a file named db.json. You can modify or delete this file yourself, but you need to restart the bot to handle changes you make. Either close the command prompt and start a new one, or input Ctrl+C to kill the bot, then run the "node ." command again.
You can change the channel this bot operates in, as well as the hour and minute that it considers the day to start at. These are constant values near the top of the code in bot.js. You'll need to restart the bot for it to detect these changes.
Expected to be installed on a single server (guild). Does not support multiple servers well.
Create an app and a bot in the Discord Developer Portal. Make sure to enable "message intents" since we're using raw message reading/writing. To get the initial bot token, click "Reset token" on the Bot page.
Install the bot to your server; you'll need to put in your client_id here. The default permissions are read and send mesages
e.g. https://discord.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=[YOUR_CLIENT_ID_HERE]&scope=bot&permissions=3072
Lastly, make sure the bot has permission to access your #standups channel (or whatever you set CHANNEL_NAME to)
Install nodejs and pnpm if you don't have them, and clone this repository from GitHub.
Setup your .env config:
- Copy

BOT_SECRET=[bot_token], replacing [bot_token] with the bot's secret token copied from the Discord dev portal.
Install dependencies:
pnpm installRun the bot using nodemon, auto-restarting on changes to bot.js:
pnpm devThe command prompt should say "Logged in as Discord Standup StreakBot". The bot should appear in the server's user list as online. Leave the command prompt open for as long as you want the bot to run.
