Triggers & Actions Reference

Everything a behavior can react to, and everything it can do. You describe the feature; the Bot Builder chooses the trigger and writes the actions. Use this page to know what is possible and to name it precisely.

You describe, the builder wires

"When someone reacts with ✅ on the rules post, give them @Verified" is a Reaction Add trigger with an Add Role action. You do not assemble that — you say it, and the builder does. Templates are the other path: their forms set these same fields for you.

Advanced Actions

Custom Code

JavaScript that runs when the trigger fires. This is the action the Bot Builder writes for most custom features — it can call outside APIs with fetch, wait on timers, and keep state between runs, so anything not covered by a preset lands here.

Webhook

Post a message to a Discord webhook

Google Sheets

Read a sheet, write a cell, or append a row (readSheet, writeSheet, appendRow)

Need something not listed here?

Describe it to the Bot Builder. If no preset action fits, it writes a Custom Code action with access to the triggering event — calling an external API, waiting before it replies, or remembering state between runs — and publishes it to your bot.

Variables & Placeholders

Drop these placeholders into message text and action fields. Use curly braces, not square brackets.
