Announcements let staff schedule a message to a Discord channel from the dashboard or with /announce. Thea runs output moderation on the text before it posts, the same fail-closed check used on answers. Open Announcements in the server sidebar.

​
Create an announcement

  1. Choose the channel.
  2. Write the message. You can add an optional embed title.
  3. Send now, or set a delay.
  4. On Pro and Business, you can also repeat it daily, weekly, or monthly.
One-off announcements are available on every plan, including Free. Recurrence is paid because each send runs output moderation again.

​
Change a scheduled announcement

  • Cancel removes a scheduled one-off announcement before it posts.
  • Skip next skips one post of a repeating announcement. The series keeps running.
  • Stop repeating ends a repeating series. An occurrence that is already scheduled still posts.
An announcement that is already queued or sent cannot be pulled back. Viewer collaborators see the list but not these controls or the composer.

​
From Discord

Optional options:
  • delay — minutes to wait (0–10,080, which is 7 days)
  • embed title — title on the embed
/announce requires Manage Server.

​
What members see

Thea posts as itself, in the channel you chose. If output moderation blocks the text, the announcement is not sent, a repeating announcement stops repeating, and the dashboard records the failure. If output moderation is temporarily unavailable, Thea retries. If every retry fails, it skips that post and records why. A repeating announcement keeps its schedule.
