Disboard Autobump

A focused automation project that triggers Disboard bump commands on a schedule, with configurable cooldowns and channel targeting.

Overview

Disboard Autobump is built for developers who want a simple and reliable way to automate recurring bump actions in a specific Discord channel.

It works by reading runtime settings from your local config, connecting through a vendored discord.py-self client, fetching the bump application command, and running it on a cooldown-driven loop.

Features

• Automated bump trigger with cooldown scheduling
• Config-based setup for token, channel, prefix, and interval
• Lightweight single entrypoint runtime
• Command cache refresh for resilient slash-command lookup
• Basic rate-limit handling for safer retries
• Windows-friendly install and run scripts

Tech Stack

• Python (asyncio runtime)
• discord.py-self (bundled in repository)
• JSON-based configuration
• Batch scripts for local Windows workflow

Installation

1. Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/Zectxr/disboard-autobump.git
cd disboard-autobump

2. Install dependencies

install.bat

3. Update configuration in config/config.json

{
	"token": "PUT YOUR TOKEN HERE",
	"prefix": "!",
	"channel_id": "YOUR_CHANNEL_ID",
	"cooldown_minutes": 150
}

Usage

Start the app:

run.bat

Alternative direct run:

python main.py

Expected flow:

1. Client logs in using the configured token
2. Bot finds the bump command in the configured channel
3. On success, the cooldown interval is applied for the next run

Roadmap

• Add startup validation for config and channel permissions
• Add structured logging (console + file)
• Add optional webhook notifications for successful bumps
• Add environment-variable secret loading support
• Add test coverage for config parsing and scheduler behavior
