v3.2.0

General changes:

  • Updated to Eris 0.14.0, which changes the API url used to discord.com instead of discordapp.com
    • API calls to discordapp.com are being phased out on Nov 7, 2020
    • This means that bot versions prior to v3.2.0 might stop working on Nov 7, 2020

  • New option: autoAlert
    • When enabled, the last moderator to reply to a modmail thread will be automatically alerted when the thread gets a new reply
    • Auto-alert kicks in after a small delay after the reply to prevent alerts in the middle of an ongoing conversation. This delay is set by the option autoAlertDelay.

    • When enabled, the bot will automatically pin the "thread header" message that contains the user's details
  • !thread is now an alias for !log/!loglink
  • Fix some bugs with the mentionRole option
  • mentionRole = off now behaves the same as mentionRole = none
  • Fixed snippet previews (via !snippet snippet_name_here) sometimes cutting off the first word (#491 by @Gugu7264)

v3.0.3

  • Fix inline snippets only working once per reply

v3.0.2

General changes:

  • BREAKING CHANGE: Logs from Modmail versions prior to Feb 2018 are no longer converted automatically

    • The supported versions are now 12, 13, and 14
  • BREAKING CHANGE: The bot now requests the necessary Gateway Intents
    • This includes the privileged "Server Members Intent", which is used for server greetings/welcome messages.
      This means that you need to turn on "Server Members Intent" on the bot's page on the Discord Developer Portal.
  • Added support for editing and deleting staff replies via new !edit and !delete commands
    • This is enabled by default
    • This can be disabled with the allowStaffEdit and allowStaffDelete options
    • Only the staff member who sent the reply can edit/delete it
  • Renamed the following options. Old names are still supported as aliases, so old config files won't break.
    • mainGuildId => mainServerId
    • mailGuildId => inboxServerId
    • categoryAutomation.newThreadFromGuild => categoryAutomation.newThreadFromServer
    • guildGreetings => serverGreetings
  • Moderators can now set the role they'd like to be displayed with their replies ("display role") by default and on a per-thread basis by using !role
    • Moderators can only choose roles they currently have
    • You can view your current display role by using !role
      • If you're in a modmail thread, this will show your display role for that thread
      • If you're not in a modmail thread, this will show your default display role
    • You can set the display role by using !role <role name>, e.g. !role Interviewer
      • If you're in a modmail thread, this will set your display role for that thread
      • If you're not in a modmail thread, this will set your default display role
    • You can reset the display role by using !role reset
      • If you're in a modmail thread, this will reset your display role for that thread to the default
      • If you're not in a modmail thread, this will reset your default display role
    • This feature can be disabled by setting allowChangingDisplayRole = off
  • New option: fallbackRoleName
    • Sets the role name to display in moderator replies if the moderator doesn't have a hoisted role
  • New option logStorage
    • Allows changing how logs are stored
    • Possible values are local (default), attachment, and none

    • Possible values are playing (default), watching, listening
  • New option anonymizeChannelName (#457 by @funkyhippo)
    • Off by default. When enabled, instead of using the user's name as the channel name, uses a random channel name instead.
    • Useful on single-server setups where people with modified clients can see the names of even hidden channels
  • New option updateNotificationsForBetaVersions
    • Off by default. When enabled, also shows update notifications for beta versions.
    • By default, update notifications are only shown for stable releases
  • Snippets can now be included within messages by wrapping the snippet name in curly braces
    • E.g. !r Hello! {{rules}} to include the snippet rules in the place of {{rules}}
    • The symbols used can be changed with the inlineSnippetStart and inlineSnippetEnd options
    • This feature can be disabled by setting allowInlineSnippets = off in your config
    • By default, the bot will refuse to send a reply with an unknown inline snippet. To disable this behavior, set errorOnUnknownInlineSnippet = off.
  • mentionRole can now be set to none
  • Removed the long-deprecated logDir option
  • The bot now notifies if the user leaves/joins the server (#437 by @DarkView)
  • Replies are now limited in length to the Discord message limit (including the moderator name and role in the DM sent to the user)
    • This is to fix issues with !edit and !delete when a reply spanned multiple messages
  • DM channel and message IDs are now stored
    • Use !loglink -v to view these in logs
    • Use !dm_channel_id in an inbox thread to view the DM channel ID
    • DM channel and message IDs are primarily useful for Discord T&S reports
  • Unless fallbackRoleName is set, anonymous replies without a role will no longer display "Moderator:" at the beginning of the message
  • Plugins can now also be installed from NPM modules
    • Example: plugins[] = npm:some-plugin-package

  • The bot now displays a note if the user sent a sticker, including the sticker's name
  • Log formatting is now more consistent and easier to parse with automated tools
  • Messages in modmail threads by other bots are no longer ignored, and are displayed in logs
  • Added official support for MySQL databases. Refer to the documentation on dbType for more details.

      • knex (see dbType documentation for more details)
  • System messages sent to the user, such as responseMessage and closeMessage, are now shown in the thread channel

  • Fix messages containing only a large number (e.g. an ID) rounding the number
  • Several common errors are now handled silently in the background, such as "Connection reset by peer"

Plugins:

  • Added support for replacing default message formatting in threads, DMs, and logs
  • Added support for hooks. Hooks can be used to run custom plugin code before/after specific moments.
    • Two hooks are initially available: beforeNewThread and afterThreadClose
    • See plugin documentation for mode details
  • If your plugin requires special gateway intents, use the new extraIntents config option

  • Updated several other dependencies
  • New JSON Schema based config parser that validates each option and their types more strictly to prevent undefined behavior

v2.30.1

  • Fix crash with responseMessage and closeMessage introduced in v2.30.0 (#369)

v2.30.0

  • The following config options now also support multi-line values:
    • responseMessage
    • closeMessage
    • botMentionResponse
    • greetingMessage
    • accountAgeDeniedMessage
    • timeOnServerDeniedMessage

  • Fix error when supplying all config values from env variables without a config file
  • Fix crash in update checker if the repository value in package.json is set to a GitHub repository without releases (this only applies to forks)

v2.29.1

  • Fix boolean values in config.ini not being handled properly

v2.29.0

  • Default configuration format is now .ini
    • Existing config.json files will continue to work and will not be deprecated
    • This makes the default configuration format for the bot much more approachable than JSON
  • Config values can now also be loaded from environment variables (see Configuration for more details)
  • New rewritten instructions for setting up and using the bot
  • New easy-to-use start.bat file for Windows
  • Update several package dependencies
  • Fixed incompatibility with Node.js 10 versions prior to 10.9.0

v2.28.0

  • Fix error when saving attachments locally with attachmentStorage set to "local" (default) when the bot's folder is on a different storage device than the system's temp folder
  • Add attachments object to the plugin API

v2.27.0

  • The syncPermissionsOnMove option now defaults to true, which should be more intuitive
  • Plugins: Plugin functions are no longer called with 4 arguments. Instead, the function is called with 1 argument, which is an object that contains the previous 4 values as properties: bot, knex, config, commands. This will make it easier to scale the plugin system in the future with new features. You can see an updated example in the README.

v2.26.0

  • The bot now waits for the main server(s) and inbox server to become available before initializing. This is a potential fix to #335. This should have little to no effect on smaller servers.
  • The bot status ("Playing") is now reapplied hourly since the status can sometimes disappear

v2.25.0

  • Fix regression introduced in v2.24.0 where line breaks would get turned to spaces in replies and snippets (#304)
  • Replace the internal command handler with a new one. This should be fairly thoroughly tested, but please report any issues you encounter!
  • Plugins are now called with a fourth parameter that allows you to easily add specific types of commands
    • Due to the command handler change, any calls to bot.registerCommand should be replaced with the new system

v2.24.0

  • Switch to the new stable version of Eris (0.10.0) instead of the dev version

v2.23.2

  • Update Node.js version check at startup to require Node.js 10

v2.23.1

  • Updated required Node.js version in .nvmrc and README (v10 is now the minimum)

v2.23.0

  • Add update notifications. The bot will check for new versions every 12 hours and notify moderators at the top of new modmail threads when there are new versions available. Can be disabled by setting the updateNotifications option to false. New available versions are also shown in !version.
    • If you have forked the repository and want to check for updates in your own repository instead, change the repository value in package.json
  • Add basic support for plugins. See the Plugins section in README for more information.
  • Add support for snippet arguments. To use these, put {1}, {2}, etc. in the snippet text and they will be replaced by the given arguments when using the snippet.
  • Add support for multiple mentionRole config option values in an array
  • Add commandAliases config option to set custom command aliases
  • Add support for timed blocks. Simply specify the duration as the last argument in !block or !unblock.

v2.21.1

  • "Account age" and "time on server" requirements are now ignored when using !newthread

  • Add requiredTimeOnServer and timeOnServerDeniedMessage config options to restrict modmail from users who have just joined the server. Thanks @reboxer (#270)!

v2.20.0

  • Add categoryAutomation option to automate thread categories. Currently supported sub-options:
    • newThread - same as newThreadCategoryId, the default category for new threads
    • newThreadFromGuild - default category on a per-guild basis, value is an object with guild IDs as keys and category IDs as values
  • Threads should now include member information (nickname, joined at, etc.) more reliably
  • Thread header now also includes the member's current voice channel, if any

v2.19.0

  • Add attachmentStorage option to control where attachments are saved. Currently supported:
    • "local" (default) - Same as before: attachments are saved locally on the machine running the bot and served through the bot's web server
    • "discord" - Attachments are saved on a special Discord channel specified by the attachmentStorageChannelId option
  • Add syncPermissionsOnMove option. When enabled, thread channel permissions are synced with the category when the thread is moved with !move.
  • Add support for scheduling !suspend. Works the same way as with !close, just specify the time after the command. Can be cancelled with !suspend cancel.
  • Scheduled !close can now be silent - just add silent as an argument to the command before or after the schedule time
  • The schedule time format for !close is now stricter and times with whitespace (e.g. 2 h 30 m) no longer work. Use e.g. 2h30m instead.
  • !loglink can now be used in suspended threads
  • User can now be mentioned in botMentionResponse by adding {userMention} to the response text. Thanks @reboxer (#225)!

  • Update some package versions (may help with sqlite3 install issues)

v2.17.0

  • Add mentionUserInThreadHeader option. When set to true, mentions the thread's user in the thread header. Fixes #152.
  • Add botMentionResponse option. If set, the bot auto-responds to bot mentions with this message. Fixes #143.
  • Fix member info sometimes missing in thread header. Thanks @Akhawais (#136)!
  • Add support for role and user IDs in inboxServerPermission instead of just permission names
  • Allow specifying multiple values (an array) for inboxServerPermission. Members will be considered "staff" if they pass any of the values.
  • Update Eris to 0.9.0, Knex to 0.15.2
  • Add support for sending anonymous snippets. By default, you can do this by using !!! instead of !!. Fixes #82.
  • Add snippetPrefixAnon option
  • Add allowUserClose option. When set to true, users can use the close command to close threads by themselves.
  • Fix allowMove missing from README. Thanks @AndreasGassmann (#126)!

v2.16.0

  • Add support for a .js config file (export config with module.exports)

  • Documented pingOnBotMention option

v2.11.1

  • Fixed greetings not being sent since multi-server support was added in 2.9.0

v2.11.0

  • Config files are now parsed using JSON5, allowing you to use comments, trailing commas, and other neat things in your config.json
  • When using multiple main guilds, the originating guild name is now always included at the top of the thread (if possible). Previously, if the user that messaged modmail was on only one of the guilds, the guild name would not be shown at the top.
  • Fixed crash when a user edited a message in their DMs with modmail without an open thread
  • Small fixes to category name matching when using !move
  • Fixed crash when the bot was unable to send an auto-response to a user
  • Added option pingOnBotMention (defaults to true) that allows you to control whether staff are pinged when the bot is mentioned
  • Long messages are now chunked so they don't fail to send due to added length from e.g. user name

v2.10.1

  • Changed timed close default unit from seconds to minutes. This means that doing e.g. !close 30 now closes the thread in 30 minutes, not seconds.

v2.10.0

  • Added !alert
    Using !alert in a modmail thread will ping you the next time the thread gets a new reply. Use !alert cancel to cancel.

    Multi-server support allows you to set an array of ids in mainGuildId. Nickname and join date will be displayed for each main guild the user is in.
  • Information posted at the top of modmail threads now also includes time since the user joined the guild(s)
  • Added !id
    !id posts the user ID of the current thread. Useful on mobile when you need to get the user ID.
  • Added !newthread
    !newthread <userid> opens a new thread with the specified user
  • Fixed a crash when the bot was unable to send a greeting message due to the user's privacy options

v2.8.0

  • Added a !version command for checking the version of the bot you're running

  • Auto-close threads if their modmail channel is deleted

v2.3.1

  • Fixed incorrect default value for mentionRole (was null, should've been "here")

v2.3.0

  • Added mentionRole configuration option (#59). This option can be used to set the role that is pinged when new threads are created or the bot is mentioned. See README for more details.

v2.2.0

  • Added the ability to schedule a thread to close by specifying a time after !close, e.g. !close 1h. The scheduling is cancelled if a new message is sent to or received from the user.

v2.1.0

  • Added typing proxy (#48):
    • If the typingProxy config option is enabled, any time a user is typing to modmail in their DMs, the modmail thread will show the bot as "typing"
    • If the typingProxyReverse config option is enabled, any time a moderator is typing in a modmail thread, the user will see the bot "typing" in their DMs

v2.0.1

  • The link to the current thread's log is no longer posted to the top of the thread. Use !loglink instead.

v2.0.0

  • Rewrote large parts of the code to be more modular and maintainable. There may be some new bugs because of this - please report them through GitHub issues if you encounter any!
  • Threads, logs, and snippets are now stored in an SQLite database. The bot will migrate old data on the first run.
  • Small attachments (<2MB) from users can now be relayed as Discord attachments in the modmail thread with the relaySmallAttachmentsAsAttachments config option. Logs will have the link as usual.
  • Fixed system messages like pins in DMs being relayed to the thread
  • Fixed channels sometimes being created without a category even when newThreadCategoryId was set
  • Removed timestamps from threads by default. Logs will still have accurate timestamps. Can be re-enabled with the threadTimestamps config option.
  • Added !move command to move threads between categories. Can be enabled with the allowMove config option, disabled by default.

Sep 22, 2017

Sep 19, 2017

  • Added logChannelId option
  • Some code clean-up. Please open an issue if you encounter any bugs!

Aug 3, 2017

  • Fixed user nicknames not showing in new threads
  • The "manageRoles" permission is no longer required to use commands on the inbox server.
    This can be configured with the inboxServerPermission config option.

July 24, 2017

  • Commands are now case-insensitive (so !close, !Close, and !CLOSE all work)
  • The before/after prefixes in edit notifications are now the same length, making it easier to spot the edited part
  • Non-ASCII names should now result in better channel names (not just "unknown")

May 18, 2017

  • Identical edits are now ignored
  • New thread notification (with @ here ping) is now posted in the thread instead of the inbox server default channel
  • Thread close notifications no longer ping the user who closed the thread

  • Several messages are now ignored for thread creation ("ok", "thanks", and similar)
  • Logs from !logs are now sorted in descending order (newest first)
