¶ Manually Posting News
If you need or want to manually post news through SnailBot, we have a command so you can do that.
To manually post the latest news with SnailBot, go into a channel that SnailBot is present in, and type out the command +postnews. Click the tabs below for specific instructions pertaining to the providers you wish to setup feeds for.
You do NOT need to include the
<>or[]in the command itself. Instead, put the game or#channelname, whichever one you are doing.
IMPORTANT:
+postnewsWILL NOT WORK if you do not have an automatic feed enabled for the provider you are attempting to manually post news for! Check the Automatic Feed Setup section for help on how to enable that.
