DigiSoc Event Request Automation

This Discord bot automates Google Form to Discord Webhook Notifications, designed for the DigiSoc internal team to solve communication issues with workflow.

Features:

• Create a new text channel for each new incoming request in the #requests channel, visible to relevant portfolios with permissions setup appropriately
• Ability to ping the bot with !beep to check if bot is down
• Any exceptions that occur will be logged to the #requests channel
• Ability to !redo reply a request from the #requests channel to manually complete the above (in case of bot downtime)
• Channel archival function !archive which archives channel content into a txt file (posted to #requests) before deleting the channel itself

Required Discord bot permissions:

• Administrator (in order to add the 'Manage Permissions' permission to certain users)

General Setup:

1. Setup the bot under Discord Developer Portal > Applications and invite to your Discord server
2. Add your bot token to a .env file as an environment variable (aka TOKEN=...)
3. Create a category 🍺-Events with a #requests text channel inside it (text channel hidden by default)
4. Setup a Google Form to Discord Webhook in #requests, linked to the DigiSoc Marketing Request Form
