Protection messages

Protection messages explain a filter match when the filter has the Warn sanction.

Configure a message

Sign in, select a server and open its protection filter. Enable it and choose Warn. April must be able to send in the relevant channel.

1. Open the notification settings and add a nonempty message or embed.
2. Configure Reply or Send, and optionally Direct. Save the filter.
3. In an authorized test channel, trigger a harmless match and check the channel and, if enabled, the member’s DM. A saved preview does not prove delivery.

For example, use a neutral message such as “Please review the server rules.” Keep sensitive details out of it: when Send has a channel configured, the current Worker looks up the triggering channel, not that configured destination. Reply also uses the triggering channel. Direct is attempted only after a channel message is sent; it can fail if DMs are closed. Do not assume a separate configured channel makes the notification private.

The local form shows an unsaved warning configuration.

This is a rendered preview, not a delivered Discord message.

If no notification appears, check Warn, the enabled filter, a nonempty template, destination and send permissions. If a false positive occurs, adjust or disable the filter and review the protection log. See automated actions, Create embed messages and Formatting variables.
