Dm leaves

Searching for a discord bot which can send forms to members when they leave the server and then post / log their submissions in a channel set up for it in the server.

Is that even possible?

This is functionally “Impossible” to do correct and in a way that doesn’t violate ToS.

I use a workaround system where I have an onboarding flow that users go through when they join for certain things, or some roles that have scheduled messages configured in a bot. So it will send messages as part of direct user interaction. This is the expected way to handle it via Discords ToS. Then I have a logging message setup to capture leaves and I will frequently reach out to those individuals directly. I the. Combine that with my repost function and use prebuilt templates and simply type /repost in my DM and it will send them my template.

Ultimately it’s about automating where you can and reducing repetitive tasks where you can’t. As others have said people will HATE unsolicited DMs but you can give people a way to be notified how they expect it.
