📦 Recurring Commands

🔁 Recurring messages

Admins can have the bot post a message in this chat again and again, for example a reminder of the rules every day. The content works like a note: text with formatting, buttons and fillings such as the chat name, or the replied message, media included. Times are in UTC. A chat can have up to 5 recurring messages, and the shortest interval is 1 hour.

Admin commands:

• /recurring add <interval> <reply/text>: Post the text, or the replied message, every interval (for example 6h, 1d or 1w) in the topic the command is sent in. Options go between the interval and the text: start=HH:MM posts first at this time (UTC), then every interval; end=YYYY-MM-DD stops after that day (end=YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM at that time); delete=on deletes the previous post when the next one goes out; topic=ID posts in that topic instead.
• /recurring list: List this chat’s recurring messages with their IDs.
• /recurring rm <id>: Remove a recurring message.

A message the bot can no longer post (it was removed or the topic is gone) is stopped and stays in the list until it is removed. If the bot may not write in the chat, it skips the posts until it may again.
