The add command allows admins to subscribe text channels to the bots notification service. This will send the subscribed channel different types of messages:
- A schedule notification shows detailed information about the next upcoming launch. This message is sent every time the next upcoming launch has changed, e.g. if a launch date is changed or if a launch just happened so now the next upcoming launch is different. Currently changes are checked for every 60 seconds.
- A launch notification provides useful links to things such as the livestream and press kit. This message is only sent through the notification service and will be sent 30 minutes before a launch. You can choose to have a list of mentions sent to alert users to this notification.
If you want to receive both types of notification you can use all.
Currently there is no way to update the type and/or mentions you have set for a channel. If you need to change these just call remove and then add with your new options.
See the Github project page for planned updates.
