Scheduling Bot
Hello all, I've done a bunch of searching on here and the rest of the internet and am not able to find anything similar to what I'm looking for. So I'm guessing I'll need to build a bot from scratch. I'm just looking for some help (or let me know if this kind of bot already exists). Thank you in advance for reading.
I belong to a gaming community that plays online matches, pretty much daily. Something we do in our community to make things more entertaining is to "restream" the match. Player 1 and player 2 will go live on Twitch, streaming their gameplay. A third person (the restreamer) will take the stream from player 1 and the stream from player 2, put them side by side and stream that and commentate the match. The restreamer also acts as commentator, referee, and recorder of the match.
The problem we are running into is finding someone to restream the match. We have a huge number of players and a pretty large number of restreamers, but these are all volunteers. In a perfect world, the bot would be this.
The RestreamerBot: players would agree on a time to play, then submit that time to the restreamer bot. The restreamer bot sends these matches to a channel dedicated just to restreamers. It would have a list of matches that need claimed by a restreamer. Restreamers could then claim this match, the bot would @ both players and the restreamer. Something simple like this: 2026/01/31 1600 UTC Division 1A Player1 vs Player2 (Restreamer)
I'd like to add other things onto this (Syncing with Discord events, Google calendar, Twitch links embedded) but that can be done at a later time. I understand this might be better solved via outside website or program, but the community has expressed very strongly they don't want to move anything off Discord.
Is something like this bot even possible? I get the feeling that it would take 2 years to build this if trying to do this 100% on my own. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this, I really appreciate any kind of help you can provide.
Cheers,
