wows-recruiting-bot

Discord bot monitoring clan exits to spot potential recruits.

This bot will scan a user defined list of clans at regular interval. Whenever a player leave a monitored clan, it will send a Discord message if the player match some minimum criterias:

minimum Win Rate
minimum number of Battles
minimum number of T10 ships
maximum time since last battle

Usage

Commands

The bot provides the following slash commands:

/wows-recruit-set-filter: Set minimum filters for players (min WR, min battles, etc)
/wows-recruit-get-filter: Display the current filter
/wows-recruit-replace-clans: Set the list of monitored clans, takes a CSV file as input, the first column must be the clan tag, other columns are ignored, be aware it replaces the whole list
/wows-recruit-list-clans: List the currently monitored clans, returns a CSV file
/wows-recruit-add-clan: Add a single clan to the monitored list
/wows-recruit-remove-clan: Remove a single clan from the monitored list
/wows-recruit-remove-test: Simple test triggering a fake "player left" message

How to use

To use this bot, you first need to invite it to a channel (tips: a dedicated channel is preferable).

Then you need to set the filter using the /wows-recruit-set-filter command.

And finally, you need to provide the list of monitored clans, either by adding them individually through /wows-recruit-add-clan or in batch through /wows-recruit-replace-clans.

Once done, you should start receiving messages within two hours (monitored clans are scanned every 2 hours).
