Free

Send members a DM when a watched keyword appears in chat.

Install Highlights from your bot’s Modules tab. Configure the settings below, save, and deploy the bot to apply changes. See module setup for shared setup steps.

Set up and use

Set Max keywords per user and a DM cooldown. Members run /highlight with Add keyword, Remove keyword, or List my keywords. Supply the keyword when adding or removing it.

Test using a second member mentioning the keyword. The recipient must allow DMs from the bot. Use specific keywords and a cooldown to reduce unwanted notifications. Watched keywords reset when the bot restarts.
