This will guide you through how to setup the basic features of SnailBot. This does not cover the miscellaneous commands.
Automated Feed Setup has drastically changed since Major Update 3. Instead of one command, you will now be guided through a process when you run the
+enablefeedcommand. By following the instructions that follow, you can quickly and easily setup automated news. We observed that the previous system was confusing for some users. We hope this new system will help clarify the process.
Upon running the +enablefeed command, you will be guided through the setup process through a series of steps and questions, depending on which provider you choose. Click the tabs below for specific instructions pertaining to the providers you wish to setup feeds for.
Available first options:
