In this post, we are of course going to show you how dotNotify, our bot, has been setup to make it easy to schedule messages and reminders across your Discord server.

Schedule Hourly Reminders On Your Discord Server In Just 5 Easy Steps.
Step 1:
Once you have our bot installed, navigate to the “Create” tab on the left hand side. You can also choose our “Embed” option too, if you would prefer to create an embed style reminder message.
Step 2:
Create your message. Here you will have a full real time preview as you create and format your message. You can use all Discord ready markdown with our full easy to use edito.
If you are creating an embed style message, you will see many different fields and options to create exactly what you want.
Step 3:
Once you are happy with your message, you then need to choose a start time, and start date. That can be today, or any day in the future. This will be when your message first starts sending.Â
You can also select the channel you would like the message delivering too.
Step 4:
To setup an hourly or custom hourly automated Discord message, you will need to check the “Setup reminder message” checkbox.
This will drop down all available interval options for your reminder message. You can schedule a daily, weekly, bi-weekly or monthly reminder for free, and to unlock the hourly options, you will need a premium subscription with dotNotify.
Step 5:
To setup a standard hourly message, you just need to check the hourly option and set an end date (this would be the date the message stops sending).Â
If you want to customise your hourly messages to send every “X” number of hours, select “Custom hourly” and you will have the choice of how often you want the message to sending in hours.
That’s It. Your Hourly Discord Message Is Now Scheduled!
That’s how simple it is. Once you have successfully scheduled your message, you will then see it on your dotNotify dashboard with all of the relevant information you have setup.
You can manage your reminder messages from here with 1 click. You can pause, edit, delete and copy messages in 1 click, making it super easy to create multple reminder messages across your server.
dotNotify makes it easy to schedule hourly Discord messages automatically. Once you have scheduled your reminders, they will send at the specified time and date, and frequency that you selected.
