Level-up Messages
When a member's combined level goes up, the bot can announce it in up to three places. Each place has its own message template, so the wording can differ.
Choose where level-ups are announced
Open Levels > Settings and use Level-up Notifications:
| Toggle | Default | Sends the message |
|---|---|---|
| Current channel | On | In the channel where the level-up happened: the text channel of the message, or the text chat of the voice channel for a voice level-up. |
| DM the member | Off | As a direct message to the member. Members who do not accept DMs from server members get nothing. |
| Dedicated channel | Off | Always in the Level-up channel you pick (a text channel). |
Turn on any combination, or none for silent level-ups. Click Save Changes when you are done.
Change a message
- Click the pencil button (Edit message template) next to the toggle. The Template Group dialog opens for that message.
- Click the pencil button on a template to edit it in the Message Builder, or add more templates to the group and pick how one is chosen each time (for example at random or in turn).
- Save. The change applies from the next level-up.
Each template can use the member's {author.*} variables, {server.*}, {level} (the new level) and {xp_type} (text or voice, whichever activity caused the level-up). See Variables.
These are the default messages:
Good to know
- A member who jumps several levels at once (possible at low levels with large XP awards) gets one message with their new level.
- XP changed with
/xp add,/xp remove,/xp resetor a MEE6 import never sends a level-up message. - If the bot cannot post in a channel, that message is skipped and the others are still sent.
- Every level-up also fires the
on_level_up_textoron_level_up_voicetrigger ("When a member levels up via text XP" or "via voice XP") in Automations, so you can do more on a level-up, such as posting a custom message at level 50.
