Pick the games and apps your members care about, and ZombyIO posts every new update in your channel: the title, a few lines, a picture and a button to the full notes. Free games from Epic and Steam arrive the moment they turn free.

What you will end up with
A game publishes a patch, and a few minutes later it is in your channel with its picture and a button to the full notes, pinging the role you chose.

Where to find it
Open the dashboard, pick your server and choose Patch notes in the sidebar (on a phone: under Features in the bar at the bottom). That is two clicks from your server list. You can also press Ctrl K anywhere in the dashboard and type the name.
In the dashboard, pick your server and choose Patch notes in the sidebar. Under Choose the channel for updates, pick a channel.
A channel of its own works best, so updates do not get lost in the chat. ZombyIO needs permission to see it, send messages and embed links in it.

Step 2: Tick the games and apps
Under Games and apps, tick what your members play and use. Games, Apps and tools and Free games each show one list; the search box finds a game in all three at once, and also knows short names like "cs2" or "lol".
Each tile says when that game or app last had an update, so you can see it is being followed.
Tip
Minecraft has three lists: Java releases, Java snapshots and Bedrock. Tick the ones your server plays.

Step 3: Add free games, if you want them
Under Free games, tick Epic Games Store for the game Epic gives away each week, and Steam for games and DLC Steam gives away to keep. The post says until when the game is free, in every member’s own time zone.

Step 4: Switch it on and save
Flip the switch in the coloured banner and press Save in the bar at the bottom. What happens right now sums up where updates go and who is pinged.

Step 5: Give a game its own channel, and ping a role
Under Your list, every game and app has a channel picker beside it: Fortnite in #fortnite, everything else in the channel from the first step. To ping, open Who gets pinged and choose a Role to ping for every update, or another role for single games.

Step 6: See what came in
Latest updates lists what the bot found most recently for the games and apps on your list, with a link to each. Before you tick anything, it shows the newest updates of every game and app, so you can see what the posts are like.

Who gets pinged

Free and Premium
Premium costs €6 a month per server and is shared by every admin of that server. It raises limits, it does not unlock the feature.

Something not working?
The problems people run into most often, and how to fix each one.
I ticked a game and nothing came
An update is posted when the game publishes its next one; ticking a game posts nothing old. If one should have come, check these:
The feature is off, or the change was not saved.
No channel is chosen, for the page or for that game.
The game is past your plan’s limit and paused.
ZombyIO may not post or embed links in the channel. Server Check says so.
The patch notes are in English
The button and the labels follow your server’s language. The update itself is quoted as the developer wrote it, which is mostly English, with a link to the full text.
An update arrived a few minutes after it went online
Every game and app is checked every few minutes for all servers at once. A very popular game is then sent to many servers in turn, which can add a few more minutes.
Fortnite posts only a version number
Epic publishes no patch notes that could be linked, so ZombyIO announces each new Fortnite version as soon as it goes live, with a link to Fortnite’s news.
A game says it cannot be read right now
Its website did not answer the last few times. ZombyIO keeps trying on its own and posts anything it missed as soon as the site answers again, as long as the update is no older than two days.
Some games say they are paused
They are past your plan’s limit, because Premium ended. The list counts from the top, so remove one above them or get Premium again.
Ask in the ZombyIO support server. Bring your support ID, your server’s support ID and a sentence about what you expected to happen, and someone will look at it with you.
