Discord Bot Overview

The SwampHacks Discord Bot is our automation layer inside the event’s main communication hub. It connects participants, mentors, and organizers with live event features — directly within Discord.

Purpose

The bot enhances engagement and coordination by:

  • Automating onboarding and role assignment
  • Sharing real-time event updates and announcements
  • Handling FAQs, schedules, and project links
  • Bridging the gap between Discord and our internal systems

Users

The bot is built for:

  • Hackers: Instant answers, project support, reminders
  • Mentors: Role signup and availability status
  • Organizers: Command tools, announcement scheduling, moderation support

Key Features

  • Slash commands for info, schedules, and submissions
  • Auto-role assignment based on application data
  • Realtime announcements synced from the dashboard
  • Event reminders and support workflows

Integration

The bot communicates with the SwampHacks API for user data, permissions, and live content. It is fully event-aware and supports syncing updates in real-time from other systems.
