Comm-Link News
Auto-post new RSI Comm-Link articles to a channel of your choice — set one field on the dashboard and the feed runs itself.
Comm-Link News keeps your server current with Roberts Space Industries' official communications. Once you pick a channel, the bot watches the RSI Comm-Link feed and automatically posts each new article as an embed — patch notes, lore posts, ship reveals, event announcements — with a link back to the full article. No one has to run anything; it just shows up.
Setup
This feature is configured entirely on the dashboard — there is no slash command for it. The whole setup is one field:
- Open your guild's dashboard and stay on the Features tab (it's the default).
- Find the News Feed card, toggle it on, and click Configure.
- Pick a News Channel — the text channel where articles will be posted. A dedicated
read-only channel like
#rsi-newsworks well. - Click Save Changes.
New Comm-Link articles are posted here as they're published.
The feed posts articles published after you enable it. It won't flood your channel with the existing Comm-Link back-catalogue, so it's safe to point at an active channel.
What a post looks like
Each new Comm-Link item arrives as an embed with the article's title, a summary, and a link to the full post on the RSI site.
To stop the feed, toggle the News Feed card off (or clear the channel) — you can switch channels at any time by picking a different one and saving.
