How to keep a message at the bottom of a Discord channel
A sticky message is a note that stays the last message of a channel. When somebody writes below it, the bot posts the note again at the bottom and removes the old copy, so everybody who is about to write sees it.

What you will end up with
In your channel: two members talking, and below them your note in a yellow box, still the last message.

Step 2: Add a note
Press Add a note. Pick the Channel it belongs to and write the Text: the rules of the channel, how to ask for help, where to post what. The preview beside it shows the note below a chat. Then save.
Tip
Leave Show it in a coloured box on and the note reads as a notice. Off, it is plain text like any message.

Step 3: The note stays at the bottom
Within seconds of the save the bot posts the note. From then on, whenever somebody writes in the channel, the note is posted again at the bottom and the old copy is removed. Change the text here and the note in Discord follows.
Important
A note moves at most every 15 seconds. In a fast chat it can stand a few messages up for a moment.

Something not working?
The problems people run into most often, and how to fix each one.
The note did not appear
ZombyIO needs View Channel and Send Messages in the channel, and Embed Links for the coloured box. The note’s card says when a post was refused. Give the permissions and save again.
The note is not the very last message
A note is posted again at most every 15 seconds, so a busy channel does not fill with posts and deletions. It is back at the bottom a moment later.
Does a mention in the note ping people?
No. Mentions in a note show as mentions and notify nobody, however often the note is posted.
A note says it is paused
Your plan runs a number of notes, counted from the top of the list. Remove or switch off one above it, or take Premium, which runs more.
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.
