Many server administrators wish to automate the process of assigning and removing roles based on user activity and how long they have been a member. This is especially useful for communities that wish to acknowledge user engagement and ensure that members feel rewarded for their participation. In this guide, we will explore how to achieve dynamic role management in Discord using a combination of JavaScript, MySQL, and the Discord.js library. We will focus on adding or removing roles based on two main criteria: User Activity: The number of messages sent by a user. Registration Time: How long the user has been registered on the server. Step-by-Step Solution To implement this, we'll break it down into sections: setting up a cron job, querying the MySQL database, and constructing the embed message with promotion details. Let's get started! 1. Setting Up the Cron Job First, we need to schedule a task that will run at specific intervals to check for members who meet the criteria for role changes. We will use the cron module for scheduling tasks: [[See Video to Reveal this Text or Code Snippet]] This code sets the task to run every day at 10:51 AM. You can adjust the schedule according to your preferences. 2. Querying the MySQL Database The next step is to query the MySQL database to find users who meet the criteria for role adjustments. Here’s how this is done: [[See Video to Reveal this Text or Code Snippet]] This query fetches users who have been registered for at least 14 days. 3. Role Adjustment Logic Once we have the relevant user data in rows, we will iterate through each user to evaluate their activity and eligibility for role changes: [[See Video to Reveal this Text or Code Snippet]] Here, we check if a user qualifies for a role change based on their rank and activity. If a member is promoted, we also update the database accordingly. 4. Creating the Embed Message After role adjustments, it’s crucial to inform the server about these changes. We can use an embed message to display the members who have been promoted: [[See Video to Reveal this Text or Code Snippet]] This structured message provides clarity and recognition for user efforts, displaying each rank’s promoted members in a concise manner. Conclusion By following these steps, you can successfully automate the process of adding and removing roles on your Discord server based on user activity and registration time. Not only does this enhance the management of roles, but it also encourages community participation and engagement among members. Feel free to adapt this solution to fit the unique needs of your server. Happy coding!
