Whoop

Friendly Discord bot for the WebODM community.

Getting Started

Requirements:

• Node.js 18+
• A Discord bot token
• A Discord application ID

Install dependencies:

npm install

Create a .env file:

DISCORD_TOKEN=your_bot_token
APP_ID=your_application_id
MODERATOR_ROLE_NAME=Moderator

MODERATOR_ROLE_NAME is optional and defaults to Moderator.

Register slash commands:

npm run register

Start the bot:

npm start

For development:

npm run dev

Move Command

The bot includes a Move message context-menu command. When a moderator or administrator right-clicks a message and chooses Apps -> Move, the bot replies with an ephemeral channel/thread dropdown, replays the message through a webhook so the original author's display name and avatar are preserved, and deletes the original message after the replay succeeds.

Required bot permissions:

• Manage Webhooks in the destination channel, or in the parent channel when moving into a thread
• Manage Messages, View Channel, and Read Message History in the source channel

The command is registered with Discord's Manage Messages default permission so it is hidden from most members. Runtime access is still restricted to administrators or members with the configured moderator role name.
