Coffee-cogs for Red 3.4

This is not recommended in the long term, as Red/Discord.py itself may break. Please upgrade if you can.

[p]repo add coffee-cogs-red-3.4 https://github.com/coffeebank/coffee-cogs/tree/red-3.4

[p]cog install coffee-cogs-red-3.4 hellohook

Hellohook (for Red 3.4)

Drafting your Webhook Message

Get started on Discohook >

When you are done on Discohook:

• Scroll to the bottom
• Click "JSON Data Editor"
• Click "Copy to Clipboard"
• Paste it into the bot command

Variables

https://&&SERVERCOUNT&& for server member count (268)

https://&&SERVERCOUNTORD&& for server member count with the th/st/nd ordinals (268th)

https://&&USERAVATAR&& for user profile picture url

https://&&USERMENTION&& for user mention (<@1234567890123456>)

• User mentions can only be used in Content, or the Embed's Body Description, or they won't appear correctly.

https://&&USERNAME&& for username as text (Clyde)

https://&&USERNAME1234&& for username#1234 as text (Clyde#1234)

Adding https:// in front is required.
Discohook will not export the needed JSON if it says "Invalid URL" (even though the bot will make them valid at runtime), so this is a workaround.

Examples

After you save them into the bot, when a new user joins, the variables will be replaced with the new user's info.

• Ping a user when they join + send an embed
  

FAQ

Hellohook and the test command doesn't send anything!

First, check your Red Bot console.

If it says send() got an unexpected keyword argument '####', please let me know in the Support Discord or file a GitHub bug report.

As of 10 June 2022, this has been patched, but may happen again in the future.

Hellohook still works, but Greet Message is empty!

Note for old users: Data has been upgraded to V2 system as of late 2021. Your data is saved. Greet Message will show as empty until a new user joins, which will activate the data migration process automatically. See [p]hellohook set for more info.

How do I send a webhook styled as the person who joined?

This feature is not recommended. But, Hellohook is open-source, so I encourage you to customize the bot by forking the code.

What you want to edit is:

return await webhook.send(**greetMessageJson)

Replace it with:

return await webhook.send(**greetMessageJson,
    username=userObj.display_name,
    avatar_url=userObj.avatar_url)
