DM Your Subscribers When a Giveaway Starts, From Your Own Bot

Members who want to hear about your giveaways subscribe once. Your own Discord bot then DMs them when a giveaway starts, and reminds the ones who have not entered before it ends.

The giveaway newsletter is an opt-in DM list for your Discord server. Members subscribe from a panel in a channel, the /newsletter subscribe command, or the screen they see after entering a giveaway. Your own bot then DMs them when a giveaway starts, and can remind the ones who have not entered yet.

You decide what they get on a small canvas: when each DM goes out, how long to wait, and who gets a reminder. Every DM carries an Unsubscribe button, and a member gets at most 3 newsletter DMs a day from your server.

How It Works

From the moment a member subscribes to the reminder before the giveaway ends

  1. 1

    Members subscribe from your server

    Your bot posts a subscribe panel in the channel you pick. Members can also type /newsletter subscribe, or press Subscribe on the screen they see after entering a giveaway.

    Subscribing is always its own choice, and members enter your giveaways the same way without it. Each new subscriber gets a welcome DM that explains how to stop.

  2. 2

    Shape what they get on the canvas

    Each flow is a short chain of steps you link on a canvas in the dashboard. Five kinds of steps cover it.

    • Start

      When a giveaway starts, or every week on the day and hour you pick, in your server's timezone.

    • Wait

      A set time, from 30 minutes to 14 days, or until a number of hours before the giveaway ends.

    • Condition

      Checks whether the member entered the giveaway, and sends them down a Yes or a No path.

    • Send DM

      Your text with the prize, the end time and the number of winners filled in, plus a button that opens the giveaway.

    • End

      The flow stops for that member.

    Every server starts with two flows. The giveaway alert is live: a DM when the giveaway starts, then a reminder 12 hours before the end for members who have not entered. The weekly roundup lists your open giveaways every Friday at 6 PM, and stays paused until you publish it.

    Up to 5 flows can be live at once, with at most 3 DMs on any path. Send yourself a test DM before you publish.

  3. 3

    Your bot DMs them when a giveaway starts

    Every giveaway your server posts starts the live alert flows, scheduled giveaways included. Try it below as a member.

    Press Subscribe on the panel. Only members who subscribe themselves get newsletter DMs.

    Sample server and prize. The panel, welcome and unsubscribe messages are your bot's built-in English wording. The alert and reminder come from the giveaway alert flow every server starts with.

    A member gets at most 3 newsletter DMs a day from your server, whatever your flows say. To keep a test draw or a members-only giveaway quiet, turn on Skip the newsletter when you build it.

  4. 4

    Members stay in control, and you see what it brought

    Every DM carries an Unsubscribe button you cannot remove, and replying stop works too. It stops your newsletter only, and the DM offers Resubscribe if they change their mind.

    The newsletter page shows your subscribers, and for each flow, the DMs sent and the members who entered a giveaway after a DM.

Your Giveaways Reach the Members Who Asked for Them

A channel post reaches whoever happens to scroll past. A DM reaches the members who asked.

  • A DM stays where a member will see it

    A giveaway post moves up the channel as the conversation goes on. A DM waits in the inbox of a member who asked for it, with a button that opens the giveaway.

  • Reminders go only to members who have not entered

    The flow checks whether a member entered before it sends the reminder. Members who joined hear nothing more, and the ones who missed it get a nudge before the giveaway ends.

  • Your community writes to them, under its own name

    Every DM comes from your server's own bot, with its name and avatar, and runs on that bot's own sending limits. Members see your community in their DMs.
