Frequently Asked Questions

How often does the bot check for updates?

PatchPulse polls developer APIs and RSS feeds every 60 seconds. Critical hotfixes trigger instant push notifications via webhook callbacks where available.

Can I use the bot in multiple servers?

Yes. Each Discord guild maintains an isolated configuration. Adding the bot to a second server requires a fresh setup of channels and game filters.

What if a game API goes down?

The bot implements exponential backoff retry logic. If an API remains unreachable for over 15 minutes, you'll receive a status alert in your configured channel.

Does the bot support custom webhook forwarding?

Use `/setup webhook ` to mirror notifications to external Discord servers or third-party logging services like Zapier or Slack.
