Channel routing
Map Rust Pulse event kinds to specific Discord channels — raids to
Once you've connected Discord to your dashboard, pair Discord channels to event kinds. Every kind is optional — leave one unset and that kind doesn't post to Discord at all.
Event kinds you can route
| Kind | What posts here |
|---|---|
| Raids | Every Smart Alarm trigger. Rich embed with alarm name, grid, and a link to the dashboard timeline. |
| Deaths | Auto-detected teammate deaths. |
| World events | Cargo / Heli / Chinook / Convoy / Vendor / Airdrop / Oil Rig appearances. |
| Tracking | Tracked-player login / logout / name change. (Premium) |
| Shops | Tracked item price changes and suspicious shops. |
| Devices | Smart Switch state changes (custom command triggers). |
How pairing works
In Settings → Discord → Channel routing, each kind has a dropdown listing every channel the bot can see on your server. Pick the channel; the bot posts a test embed to confirm.
Per-channel rate limiting
The bot batches identical events that fire within ~10 seconds of each other — so a flapping alarm doesn't spam a channel. If you want noisier output for a wipe day, raise the verbosity threshold in Settings.
Pinging vs posting
By default, Rust Pulse posts embeds. To ping a role on raids, set a Mention role for the raid channel in Settings → Discord → Mentions. The role gets a @role ping appended to raid embeds only.
