Sticky Messages

Keep important information always visible at the bottom of your channels.

Sticky Messages

Sticky Messages are persistent messages that automatically “stick” to the bottom of a channel. Every time a new message is sent, Veronica deletes the old sticky and reposts it at the end of the chat, ensuring critical info like rules or links are never missed.

How to use

Managing stickies is simple with the /stickymessage command.

1. Add a Sticky

   Choose a channel and provide the content you want to keep visible.

   /stickymessage add channel:#rules message:Welcome! Please read the guidelines above.
   

   Sticky message deployed and monitoring chat.
2. View & Edit

   Audit your active stickies or update them on the fly.

   /stickymessage view channel:#rules
   

   Configuration confirmed.
3. Remove

   Permanently delete the sticky when it’s no longer necessary.

Best Practices

Keep it Concise

Long sticky messages can be distracting and take up too much screen space. Use short, impactful text and emojis.

Rate Limiting

Veronica is optimized to handle stickies efficiently, but avoid adding them to extremely high-traffic channels where new messages are sent multiple times per second.

Permissions

Veronica requires Manage Messages and Send Messages permissions to delete and repost stickies effectively.

Sticky messages are reposted only after a new message is sent in the channel. They do not update if the last message in the channel is already the sticky message.
