You can create a connection every 10 minutes, this is reduced to 1 minute for

Connection name specifications

  • Must be unique across Discord, you can't share the same name with someone else

Selecting your connection

Each time you want to manage a different connection you will need to select it using /select <name> or specify it in the command. If you did not select a connection, ComBot will select one for you instead, but this may not be the one you are looking for.

Once you've got your you can connect a channel to it! This will create a webhook in that channel which will allow messages to look realistic. The bot needs Manage Webhooks permissions for this next step.

To connect a channel we will use the cb connect <#channel> command. Make sure to replace <#channel> with a mention of the channel you wish to add/connect. You can mention a channel using #<channel-name>. You can also use its ID instead of a mention. . This command might take a few seconds to complete
