¶ How to set up Auto Purge
- Head over to your account and select your server.
- Click on the
Modulestab. - Ensure the
Auto Purgemodule is enabled. - Click the
Settingsbutton underneath the Auto Purge module. - Select the channel which you want to be automatically purged.
- Set the interval at which Auto Purge should trigger in hours. (Minimum 1 hour)
- If you wish, select a filter, then click the
Addbutton. If you choose to add a filter, Dyno will only purge messages which match your chosen filter.
Auto Purge will not purge pinned messages or messages that are older than 14 days.
Due to the system Dyno uses for Auto Purges, the interval will not be perfect and may drift overtime. As such, we cannot guarantee that Dyno will always purge at a specific time each day or similar.
¶ How do I remove an Auto Purge?
Want to stop Dyno from automatically purging your channel(s)? First, follow steps 1-4 above to access your Auto Purge dashboard. Once there, you will need to click the “Remove” button on the Auto Purge you would like to delete. This will remove the selected Auto Purge, and Dyno will no longer purge that channel.
Warning: This is irreversable.
You cannot edit an Auto Purge, meaning if you want to change the channel, filters or interval, you must remove it and then add it back.
