How to send announcements in Discord

If you are an administrator of a Discord server that uses the HOI4Intel bot, you can use the /announce command to send announcements to your server members or specific users. This command will create an embed with your announcement message and send it directly to the recipients. You can use this command to inform your server members about important news, updates,  or anything else related to the game you are hosting.

Requirements

• The recipients of your announcement must be members of your Discord server and have direct messages enabled.
• If you want to send this to all players in your game then /add_player_list command is required.

Usage

The syntax of the /announce command is:

/announce message_content event_id [recipient]

The parameters are:

• message_content: The text of your announcement message. You can use any formatting options supported by Discord.
• event_id: The ID of the event that you want to announce. You can find the ID in the event announcement message that was posted by the bot when you scheduled the game using the /add_hoi_game command.
• [recipient]: (Optional) The mention or ID of a specific user to whom you want to send the announcement to. If you omit this parameter, the announcement will be sent to all players who are participating in the event.

Example

An example of using the /announce command is:

/announce message_content:Hello everyone, we are rehosting currently with the **SEMI-HIST mod**, ID is: 4896489498 event_id:1234567890

This will send a direct message to all players who are participating in the event with ID 1234567890.

If you want to send an announcement to a specific user, you can add their mention or ID as a parameter. For example:

/announce message_content:Hey @JohnDoe, Is everything fine? I've seen that your game has crashed, are you going to join back? Ping me on the discord if you are coming back. event_id:1234567890 recipient:@JohnDoe#0000

This will send a direct message only to JohnDoe with a question about whether he is going to join back or not.
