Introduction

Learn how Automations in Horizon streamline notifications and explore the basics of Horizon's API for integration and enhanced functionality. Let’s make your server a star!

Why Automations? What's This?

Here's the deal: Automations inspire dreams, help people appreciate themselves, and remind us how tiny we are in this vast universe. Every day is a unique adventure because not all planets have life. Some people never get the chance to be born, but we’re here, and that’s something special.

Automations are the feature we are most proud of because they let you dive into everything humanity has accomplished in our solar system and beyond. They show off our smarts and our relentless drive to understand our place in the cosmos.

How to Enable Automations?

Enabling any automation is a piece of cake. Use the command /automations and select the function you wish to enable with the Enable Function option. You must include the channel value for specific channel activation.

How to Disable Automations?
