Turn Announcement on and your vault writes itself an embed for your Discord server. Publishing the vault posts it, with a Redeem a key button carrying the redeem link. You write the message; the timing and the link come from the vault.

Announce a key vault in Discord

Playbook: turn it on, write the message, and publish.

Give keys away with a redeem link

Playbook: a standalone claim link, with screening, outside any playtest.

​
What you need first

Two things have to be true before the toggle does anything. A system vault belongs to a playtest and hands its keys out during the session flow. It has no redeem link of its own, so there is no address to put behind the button. Custom vaults have one, and they can announce.
Load the vault with keys before you publish. An announcement pointing at an empty vault sends people to a page telling them every key has been claimed.

​
Turn it on

1

Enable the toggle

Open the vault’s About tab.Click the Announcement card and switch it on.An Announcement tab appears in the tab bar.
2

Write the message

Open the Announcement tab.Set the content, the appearance, and the channel it posts to. The preview above shows the embed as Discord will draw it.
3

Publish the vault

Click Publish and confirm.The redeem link goes live and the announcement posts to your channel.
On a draft vault, turning the toggle on posts nothing. It creates the announcement so you can write it, and the post waits for publish.On a vault that is already published the post goes out the moment you turn the toggle on, because there is no later moment to wait for.

​
What the message carries

The Announcement tab is the same composer a standalone announcement uses, with two differences: there is no Links card, and there is no schedule. Leave the cover empty and the post falls back to the vault’s own branding background. The button is not yours to set. It always reads Redeem a key and always carries this vault’s redeem link, which is why the Links card is missing.

​
What it costs

Publishing the vault posts the announcement, and that spends one announcement message from your plan. If your allowance is empty, publishing the vault is blocked rather than publishing without the post. You can upgrade, or switch Announcement off on the About tab and publish without one.

Announcement allowances by plan

How many messages your plan includes, and how unsent ones come back.

​
Editing it while the vault is live

You can keep editing the message after the vault publishes. Save a card and the post in Discord is rewritten in place, keeping its position in the channel along with its reactions and replies. An edit spends nothing. Resetting the redeem link mints a new address and kills the old one immediately, which would normally strand an announcement already sitting in your channel. It does not. The Redeem a key button on the live post is rewritten to the new address. This is an edit rather than a new post, which is why it is free.
If the Userplay bot has lost access to the channel, the rewrite cannot go through and the post keeps the old link. Restore the bot’s permissions, then save the announcement again.

​
Turning it off

Switching Announcement off takes the post out of Discord and returns the message if it had not gone out yet. Everything you wrote is kept, so switching it back on restores the message. Unpublishing the vault does the same thing to the post, and archiving the vault takes down anything it still had posted.
Unpublishing and republishing spends a second message. A post that already reached your community is spent, so republishing sends a genuinely new one.
