Live feed — waiting for the next big drop…
Every event can keep your clan updated in Discord — from the moment it goes live to each completion, milestone, and the final standings. It's all configured on the event's Discord tab: pick your channels, decide how chatty the event should be, and DropTracker handles the rest.
First pick the server to post in — any Discord server the bot is in and that you manage (a dedicated events server works fine). Then choose a channel for each kind of message:
| Channel | What posts there |
|---|---|
| Announcements | The event going live, ending, and other milestones. |
| Completions | Individual task and bingo-cell completions as they happen. |
| Leaderboard | The live standings board (see below). |
| Admin | Organiser-facing notices — pending reviews, activation problems. |
Any kind you leave unset falls back to your Announcements channel, so at a minimum set that one.
Events can be as quiet or as lively as you want. Under Message verbosity you control exactly what posts, with an on/off toggle for each kind of message — grouped into Lifecycle (started, ended), Bingo (cell, line, blackout), Completions, Leaderboard (lead changes), and Admin (pending reviews, activation failures). Everything is on by default; switch off anything you don't want cluttering the channel.
Separately, Progress updates control how often you hear about a team edging toward a task — not just when it finishes one:
| Setting | What posts |
|---|---|
| Off | Nothing until a task is completed (the default). |
| Milestones | A note when a team crosses 25%, 50% and 75% of a task. |
| Every update | A note on every tracked increment — very chatty. |
Milestones is the sweet spot for a big bingo: enough of a heartbeat to keep the hype up without burying the channel.
Event messages use Discord's newer rich-card format: a clean, accent-coloured card per event type, proof screenshots shown as a thumbnail beside the text, and handy buttons like Follow the event live or Open the review queue that jump straight to the right page. If you've set role pings (below), the mention rides along at the top of the card. You don't configure any of this — it looks good out of the box.
Instead of posting a fresh leaderboard every few minutes, DropTracker keeps one message that updates itself for the whole event — the live standings board.
To turn it on, set a Leaderboard channel (or rely on the Announcements fallback) and keep Post a live standings board enabled. You can choose how many teams it shows (Top 3–25, default 10) and whether to include a quick task / bingo progress summary.
The board refreshes within seconds of any score change and at least every couple of minutes, shows a live countdown to the finish, and switches to final standings when the event ends.
The board needs somewhere to live — if you enable it without a Leaderboard or Announcements channel set, it has nowhere to post.
For the big moments you can ping specific roles — separately for the event being created, started, and ended — so the right people get notified without pinging everyone. DropTracker can also create a native Discord scheduled event for the start, either as soon as you set things up or when the event actually activates.
Event messages ship with polished default layouts. Groups on a premium plan will be able to customise the wording and styling of each message type from an in-app editor — the same idea as custom Discord embeds for drops. That editor is on the way; until then, everyone gets the tuned defaults.
