Syntax

$publishMessage[channelID;messageID]

Parameters

Parameter	Description
channelID	Required. The ID of the announcement channel containing the message.
messageID	Required. The ID of the message to publish.

Both arguments must be valid IDs, otherwise an error is raised.

Return Value

This function does not return a value.

Behavior

• Requires a channel of type announcement; otherwise an error is raised (“Publishing requires an announcement channel”).
• The bot must have the View Channel and Send Messages permissions in the channel, plus Manage Messages if the message was not sent by the bot itself.
• The message is broadcast to all servers that follow this announcement channel.

Examples

Publish an announcement

$var[announcement;$sendMessage[New version 2.0.0 is out: new !help command, bug fixes and improved performance.;yes]]
$publishMessage[$channelID;$var[announcement]]

Conditional publication

$if[$isAdmin[$authorID]==true]
  $var[announcement;$sendMessage[Announcement from $username: $noMentionMessage;yes]]
  $publishMessage[$channelID;$var[announcement]]
  $sendMessage[✅ Announcement published successfully.]
$else
  $sendMessage[❌ Permission denied.]
$endif

Notes

• Only messages in announcement channels can be published.
• Subscribed servers see the message in their dedicated announcement channel.
• Publishing is irreversible: the message cannot be “unpublished”.
• Ideal for bot updates, changelogs, and community announcements.
