v5.68.0: Team updates and announcements in Discord

Update

•

Written by Penkek

Baldio's feed used to post every change in every channel you gave it, and it never pinged anyone. Now each channel gets what you choose, and officers can post their own announcements.

Team updates

Open Integrations and click the pencil on a channel's Team updates row.

Integrations with four Discord channel cards, each listing the Team updates it posts and the roles it pings
  • What posts where. Raid nights, signups, applications, roster, plans, your recruiting listing and Discord links switch on and off per channel, down to single messages.
  • Short line or full embed. One line, or an embed with the details and a link to the site. Applications start as embeds.
  • Pings. Up to 25 roles per group, like @Officers on sign-offs. Nobody else gets pinged.
  • Sign-off notes. A sign-off can include the note the raider left.
  • Preview. You see the message before it posts, and how many posts last week would have made.
  • Plainer wording. "Arannis can't make Mythic Raid on Wed 14 Oct".
  • A second channel starts with only what isn't posting anywhere yet.
Team updates settings for #officer-chat: Sign-offs & late open, pinging @Officers, posting as a short line
The same settings posting as a full embed, with the embed preview and last week's post count

Raid times

New raid times posted a line for every night they added, and edits never reached Baldio's raid posts.

  • One line per save. "Wednesday Mythic: 9 nights added, Wed 14 Oct to Wed 9 Dec" instead of nine lines.
  • Raid posts follow. Nights you move or remove are updated or taken down in Discord too.

Tell the team in Discord. A switch on every save. Turn it off for a small fix.

Catch-up later. Raid times offers to tell the team afterwards, with the changes already written up.

Announcements

Announce… on any Team updates channel writes a post from the site.

  • Discord-style writing. Type @ for a role, # for a channel and : for an emoji, with bold, italic, spoilers and lists.
  • The roles you mention get pinged. @everyone is never possible, and links only go to wowutils.com.
  • Preview. Short line or full embed, in the colour you pick.
The Announce dialog with an @Officers mention and the role suggestions open for @ra

Your own wording

At Boost Tier 3, Message wording rewrites any Team updates message: the title, colour, which details show and a footer. Send a test… posts a sample in one of your channels.

Message wording for New application: a custom title, purple colour and footer, with the short line and the embed shown below

The Terms of Service, Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy were rewritten to say what the site does, in plain words. The API terms are one page now.

  • Deleting your account also removes your linked Discord and Warcraft Logs accounts and unpairs the desktop app.
  • Plan problems. Your profile now says where to reach us if something is wrong with your supporter plan.

Around the app

  • Audit Log access. View Audit Log is a permission now, on for officers by default, so you can give it to anyone.
  • Error reports. When a page breaks, the report button copies the error and opens the bug channel in our Discord.

As always, feedback and ideas are welcome in Discord or on the Community page.
