  4. Click “Authorize”

Step 2: Understanding Configs

EazyAutodelete uses configs to define deletion rules. Understanding how configs work is key to using the bot effectively:

What is a Config?

A config is a set of deletion rules that applies to a specific channel. Each config includes:

  • A deletion mode (how messages are deleted)
  • A limit (when to delete)
  • Filters (which messages to delete)
  • Optional settings (roles, time boundaries, etc.)

Key Facts About Configs:

  • Channel-specific: Each config only affects the channel where it was created
  • Multiple configs: You can create up to 3 configs per channel (more with Premium)
  • Independent operation: Different channels can have completely different deletion rules
  • Flexible combinations: Multiple configs in one channel can work together to create complex deletion rules

Step 3: Creating Your First Config

Now let’s create a config to start automatically deleting messages!

Using the /setup Command

  1. Run /setup in the channel where you want auto-deletion
  2. Select “Create Config” from the menu

Configure Deletion Mode

Choose from 5 different modes:

  • Mode 1 - Time-based individual deletion: Delete each message X seconds/minutes/hours after it’s sent

    • Example: Delete every message 30 seconds after posting
    • Best for: Creating self-destructing temporary chat channels

  • Mode 2 - Interval-based bulk deletion: Delete all messages at regular intervals

    • Example: Delete all messages every 5 minutes
    • Best for: Regular cleanup sweeps of active channels

  • Mode 3 - Message count-based bulk deletion: Delete all messages after X messages are sent

    • Example: Delete all messages once 50 messages have been posted
    • Best for: Maintaining a specific message history length

  • Mode 4 - Message count-based single deletion: Keep newest X messages and delete oldest one

    • Example: Keep the newest 10 messages and delete the oldest one when a new one is created
    • Best for: Limit a channel to only the essentials and keep it compact

  • Mode 5 - Daily Time-based bulk deletion: Delete all messages daily at HH:mm.

    • Example: Delete all messages at 10:00 UTC.
    • Best for: Clean up yesterday’s mess and have a fresh start for a new day

Select Filters

Filters let you target specific message types for deletion:

Choose as many filters as you need to match your use case:

  • Is/isn’t pinned
  • Is/isn’t from bots
  • Is/isn’t a reply
  • Contains/doesn’t contain emojis
  • Contains/doesn’t contain links
  • Has/doesn’t have attachments
  • And many more!

Examples:

  • Delete only bot messages: Select “Author is Bot”
  • Delete only messages with links: Select “Contains Link(s)”
  • Delete everything except pinned: Select “Is not pinned”

Learn more: Filters Documentation

Set Additional Options

Enhance your config with optional settings:

  • Filter Behavior: Require messages to match ALL filters or just ONE
  • Roles: Target or ignore messages from specific roles
  • Time boundaries: Only delete messages after a certain point
  • Thread settings: Control how threads are handled

Set the Limit

The limit determines when deletion happens:

Examples: 30s, 5min, 2hrs, 1day 6hr

Load Old Messages

Final decision: What about existing messages?

  • Yes: Process and delete messages sent before now (up to 2 weeks old)
  • No: Only delete new messages sent after now

When to choose Yes:

  • You want to clean up existing message history
  • Starting fresh in a channel
  • Applying new rules retroactively

When to choose No:

  • You want to preserve existing conversation
  • Testing a new config safely
  • Unsure about the settings

Step 4: Activation

After completing the setup:

  1. Wait 60 seconds: The bot waits one minute after your last config change before starting
  2. Automatic operation: EazyAutodelete will begin processing messages according to your rules
  3. Make adjustments: Run /setup again anytime to modify your config

ℹī¸ Info: The 60-second delay prevents the bot from constantly starting and stopping while you make multiple configuration changes.
