Auto-Star Channels

What is an auto-star channel?

An auto-star channel is a channel where Starboard will automatically react to messages with your server’s starboard emoji.

Beating the misconceptions

• Auto-star channels do NOT automatically post messages to your starboard channel.
  • They must still get the required amount of stars in order to be posted.
• Additionally,
  • only emojis set as upvote or downvote emojis will be added by auto-star.
  • auto-star is not a standalone feature; you must have a starboard configured for it to work.

Create an auto-star configuration

An auto-star configuration is a set of auto-star channels that share the same settings.

1. Create an auto-star configuration:

   `/autostar createname:my first auto-star configchannels:#autostar-channel-1 #autostar-channel-2emojis:⭐ 🍣`

   Tip

   You can have up to 2 auto-star configurations, with up to 2 emojis and 3 channels each.

   With Starboard Premium, you can have up to 10 auto-star configurations, with up to 10 emojis and 30 channels each.

2. (Optional) Enhance your auto-star setup with filters:

   Creating filters

   Filters that are enabled on the server settings (or other overrides) will still be enabled while auto-starring messages. The general rule of thumb is that, if no one can actually star the message with the emojis of the auto-star configuration, the message is marked as invalid and will not be auto-starred by the bot. So, if you have a filter enabled for starring messages, the message must pass the filter to be auto-starred as well.

   You can also enable filters specifically for auto-star configurations with the following command:

   `/autostar filters addfilter:Filter 3auto-star-config:my first auto-star config`

   For example, a message may need to pass Filter 1 and Filter 2 to be starred, and to be auto-starred it needs to pass Filter 1, Filter 2, and Filter 3.
