FAQPage Schema
How do I get Discord keyword alerts sent directly to my DMs?

You can track specific words across Discord servers by using the /highlight add command. Once a keyword is added, the system scans chat messages and sends you a direct message alert whenever that word appears.

Can I monitor mentions of specific words across multiple Discord servers?

Yes, you can monitor specific words across multiple Discord servers. The system applies per-user keyword subscriptions globally, sending DM notifications whenever your tracked terms appear in any participating server.

How do I set up and manage per-user keyword subscriptions for notifications?

Per-user keyword subscriptions are managed using the /highlight add command. This stores your tracked words individually and triggers instant direct message notifications when those keywords are mentioned in server chats.

Do keyword alert DMs include the full message context from the server?

Keyword alert DMs include context-rich notifications containing the channel name, author, and message preview. This provides full message context so you understand the conversation surrounding the tracked keyword.

Are there rate limits for keyword mentions to prevent DM notification spam?

Yes, rate limiting is applied to keyword mentions to prevent DM notification spam. This safety measure restricts alert frequency, protecting users from receiving excessive direct messages during high-volume server conversations.

Will I receive a DM alert if I am the one who typed the tracked keyword?

No, you will not receive a DM alert if you are the author of the message containing the tracked keyword. The system includes safety rules that specifically prevent sending notifications to the message author.
