An announcement is a message you write in Userplay and post to your Discord server. This is the one-time kind: a single post, sent the moment you publish. Write it, preview it, and send it.

​
What you need first

  • A Discord server connected under Integrations.
  • A channel in that server for the announcement to post to.
