Joining the Game with a Bot Account

Hi! I was wondering if using a bot account to join a game, do a certain command, then leave the game complies with Roblox TOS.

In my game, there are ranks saved in datastores, so in order to edit them, a player would have to join the game and do a rank command. I thought of the idea that, from a Discord command, a bot account could join the game, use the rank command, then leave the game. The problem is that I’m worried Roblox will punish me for using a bot account, since there are scam bot players out there, and scam bots also join a game, chat, then leave. Would this be against Roblox’s policies? I’m not using it maliciously; I’m just using it for ranking management and such.

I’ve thought of reaching out to Roblox by email, but I wanted to try to ask here first. I’ve also thought about using HTTP POST to send requests to the game, but there could be no servers to receive that request.

Thank you!

Why not just do it yourself or get someone else to do it? What is the purpose of the bot doing it?

I assume it’s okay for testing purposes, but Roblox is very tight and loose at times with this sort of stuff.

I couldn’t say for sure that it would work, but you could have the Discord bot POST to an existing web API to store queued information. Then whenever a server is booted up, it can GET that info and check for any queued actions.
