How do I receive an email or some type of notification when someone joins my game?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I want to receive an email, discord ping, or some other type of notification whenever someone joins my game. I want to do this because I want to join the player in my game.

Is there a simple setting I can turn on or do I have to script the feature? I looked online and I can’t seem to find how to implement it.

http service for discord ping
idk how to do email

#3

how do i make the message ping me

#4

you would make a discord bot
and use http service to make it DM you

#5

i have seen youtubers who make a discord bot send a message in a certain channel, but i don’t get how i am supposed to send a message through dm

#6

I have never done a DM using roblox before so im not 100% sure if you can do that but you should be able to I could be wrong

#7

You’d have to do it through a web-hook and it can only be done through a channel that has that web-hook.

#8

are dm’s possible tho?
i’ve done the channel thing before so I don’t know for sure

#9

I dont know what language you code discord in, but I know in node.js for discord you can tell it to send a message to the channel or dms

#10

oh trust me ik how to use discord.js very well
that is a simple task

I just wanted to know if you could use http service in a roblox script to dm someone instead of using a webhook on a channel

#11

use express & discord.js in node.js

for email you will need a smtp server

make a api with express and using discord.js dm the specified user

and then you can call that api endpoint when a player joins your game

You can get a website with PHP then call the function “mail”, it allows you to send emails to yourself.

Make a PHP file with that then use HttpService to run that file every time someone joins your game.

You can read more about the “mail” function on the official PHP website.

Discord webhooks are a very good way to do this. But it’s risky because if your game gets big it will be sending too many Http requests at a time.

You can use discord webhooks. This can send a message into a discord server.

There is a rate limit on discord webhooks and if to many people join and leave you could get banned on discord(not the server, your acc gets deleted).

You don’t need to know how to code in any launguage other than LUA(what roblox uses).
