Hi everyone! I’m searching for someone to assist me in developing a bot for Discord. The bot should be able to watch messages in a specific channel and automatically send them to another Discord channel or Telegram.
I’m not very good with tech stuff, so I need someone who can explain everything clearly. It would be great if you could guide me through the whole process, from setting things up to actually using the bot.
Some key points:
- The bot should work like an RSS feed
- It needs to monitor a channel without admin rights
- I’d like to know what tools or platforms we’ll need
If you have experience with this kind of project, please let me know. My budget is $25. Thanks in advance for your help!
I’ve actually built a similar bot for my gaming community, and it’s not as complicated as you might think. While $25 is a bit low for custom development, I can point you in the right direction to do it yourself.
Check out Discord.py, a Python library for creating Discord bots. It’s fairly beginner-friendly and has good documentation. You’ll need to set up a Discord developer account, create a bot application, and invite it to your server.
For the message relay part, you can use the on_message event to listen for new messages in a specific channel. Then, use a Discord webhook or the Telegram Bot API to forward those messages.
The tricky part might be running the bot 24/7. I’d recommend using a free tier on a cloud platform like Heroku or Replit to host your bot.
If you get stuck, there are plenty of tutorials and Discord bot development communities that can help. Good luck with your project!
For $25, you might struggle to find someone to build a custom bot from scratch, but there are some existing solutions you could explore. Have you considered using IFTTT (If This Then That)? It’s a user-friendly platform that can connect Discord to other services, including Telegram. You’d need to set up a webhook in your Discord server, then create an IFTTT applet to forward messages.
Alternatively, MEE6 is a popular Discord bot with a free tier that includes message logging features. You could set it up to log messages from one channel to another within Discord.
These options might not tick all your boxes, but they’re good starting points that don’t require coding knowledge. If you decide you need more custom features, you might need to increase your budget for a developer’s time.
