Trigger Logic

​
Execution & Permissions

  • Role-Based Access: Only users with the configured Allowed Roles can run the trigger command.
  • Channel Targeting: Messages are sent to the defined Channel ID, or the one where the command was used.
  • Embed Support: Enable embeds for visually enhanced messages with full customization options.
  • Cooldown Protection: Prevent spam by setting per-user cooldowns for each trigger.

​
Timing Features

  • Auto-Delete Trigger: Automatically remove the user’s command message after execution
  • Auto-Delete Response: Set a timer to automatically delete the bot’s response (useful for temporary announcements)
  • Cooldown System: Prevent the same user from spamming triggers with customizable cooldown periods

​
Error Handling

  • If a trigger has a misconfiguration, Panora will send an error response.
  • If role or channel lookups fail, the system retries up to three times before giving up.
  • Cooldown violations will show a friendly error message with remaining time.
