After installation, you can configure channels where the MTGStocks bot will send updates. The bot supports two types of updates:

  • Interests: Updates on card interests, highlighting shifts in popularity.
  • Articles: Notifications of new articles on MTGStocks.

To configure these updates, use the /mtgstocks command with administrative privileges in your server:

Register a Channel for Updates

To set up an interests or articles channel, use: 

/mtgstocks interests [#channel-name]

or

/mtgstocks articles [#channel-name]

Replace [#channel-name] with the specific channel where you'd like the updates to appear.

Deregister a Channel

If you need to remove a channel from receiving updates, use:

/mtgstocks deregister [#channel-name]

Help Command

For a quick reminder of available commands, type:

/mtgstocks help

Important: Configure Roles and Channel Permissions

To ensure the bot can send updates correctly, make sure it has the correct role with the appropriate permissions:

  • Assign the bot a role with Send Messages and Read Messages permissions.
  • In channels where updates are posted, confirm that this role has:
    • Send Messages: Allows the bot to post updates.
    • Read Messages: Ensures the bot can access the channel.
    • Embed Links: Enables richer, embedded content.

You can manage these permissions in your server settings under Roles and adjust the bot's role permissions in individual channel settings as needed.

The MTGStocks bot is now configured to provide timely updates in your chosen channels. Enjoy tracking MTG trends directly in Discord!
