Timers: automatic chat messages on a schedule

Timers that do not spam an empty chat

Timers post messages to chat automatically. A Twir timer fires only when two conditions are met: the set number of minutes has passed and enough messages have been sent in chat since the last post. This way the bot never floods a quiet chat.

A timer can have several responses that are posted in turn, and responses support the same variables as commands. Use timers for social links, a stream schedule, rules, Discord invites or reminders about commands.

   Choose the interval in minutes and the number of chat messages, then save.
