How to send alert every minute or every hour from my bot?

[digitaldroid99]

Hello, professionals.

I have created new simple test code for alerts and then, I am not sure how can I implement the alert for every minute or hour.
This is my snipped code.

// Register Command
$discord->application->commands->save($discord->application->commands->create(CommandBuilder::new()
->setName("testalert")
->setDescription("Test alert")
->toArray()
));

// Listen Command
$discord->listenCommand("testalert", function (Interaction $interaction) {
$interaction->acknowledgeWithResponse()->done(function($interaction){
$interaction->updateOriginalResponse(MessageBuilder::new()->setContent('test'));
});
});

I am not sure how to respond the user command every hour or day because of discord api timeout is even 3s.

I would like to get provided the solution from discordPHP professionals and fans.

Regards.

$discord->getLoop()->addPeriodicTimer(float seconds, function ($timer) { your code });

Hi, @key2peace , thanks for your fast reply.

Sorry to let you confused and I need to DM about the alert, because if I updated the original response periodically, he can't get notified with the updated info.

Of course, I am not sure how long will it took to match condition for the alert.

Would you send me the snipped code or better solution?

It will be better to make users to update the condition later.

Regards.

You cannot do that with interactions, in your case you can only use interactions to remember that the person needs to be alerted periodically. You have to send the alerts using normal message $user->sendMessage(...).
