Repeat an event

Make it a series: the next occurrence posts itself when this one finishes.

Unit Leader or Admin Discord — repeat: on /event-create or /event-edit

How to do it

  1. Pass repeat: when creating, or add it later with /event-edit event:<name> repeat:weekly.
  2. Pick a pattern: daily, weekly, every 2 weeks, monthly by date, monthly by weekday (last Saturday or 2nd Saturday), or weekly except the last of the month.
  3. Bound it with repeat_until: if the series should stop on a date.
  4. Use repeat_delay: to hold the next post back a number of hours after this one ends, instead of posting it the moment it closes.
  5. Stop a series with /event-edit event:<name> repeat:none.

Worth knowing

  • The weekday patterns take both the weekday and the position from the first occurrence. A series created on Saturday the 13th means 2nd Saturday under monthly by weekday.
  • Only one occurrence is live at a time — there is no pre-generated calendar, and sign-ups deliberately do not carry over.
  • Dates are measured from the first occurrence, so a series on the 31st gives 28 Feb → 31 Mar rather than drifting to the 28th for good.
  • A bot that was offline for ten weeks posts one occurrence in the future, not one per missed week.
