Channel Management¶

Channels allow the bot to post alerts into a shared Discord channel rather than via DM. An admin registers a channel, then sets up tracking filters for that channel.

!channel add

Run this command inside the Discord channel you want to register. Once added, you can use tracking commands (e.g. !track, !raid) in that channel to configure what alerts are posted there.

!channel remove

Removes the channel registration and all associated filters.

Webhook Management¶

Webhooks allow Dexter to post alerts to a Discord webhook URL, which is useful for channels where the bot does not need full membership.

!webhook add https://discord.com/api/webhooks/...

Area Management¶

Areas define geographic regions for tracking. They correspond to geofence files configured on the server.

!area add MyTown
!area remove MyTown

When area security is enabled (areaSecurity.enabled), admins control which areas each community can access.

User Management¶

!userlist

Lists all registered users with their status. Admin users can see additional details.

!enable @user
!disable @user

Enable or disable a specific user's alerts without removing their filters.

!unregister @user

Permanently remove a user's registration and all their tracking data.

Backup and Restore¶

!backup @user
!restore @user

Export or import a user's complete filter configuration. Useful for migrating users or recovering from issues.

Broadcast¶

!broadcast Your message here

Send a message to all registered users. Use sparingly.

Apply¶

!apply <preset> @user

Apply a predefined set of tracking filters to a user or channel. Presets are configured on the server.
