Event notifications (/notify)

Want to be pinged the moment something important happens — like a ban or a member removal? /notify makes a specific event @-mention one or more roles when it's logged, so the right people see it right away. It's admin-only and runs privately.

Set up a ping

Run /notify add, pick the event (start typing to search — e.g. "ban"), and choose the role(s) to ping:

/notify add  event: Group User Ban  role: @Moderators  role2: @Admins

From now on every Group User Ban is posted with @Moderators @Admins above the embed. You can add up to five roles at once, and run it again for any other event you care about.

Also ping the person who did it

Beyond roles, /notify can ping the moderator who actually performed an action — great for accountability, or so a small team is notified the instant one of them acts. It uses account linking to find that VRChat user's Discord account.

Turn it on per event:

/notify actor  event: Group User Ban  enabled: True

Now when someone bans a user in VRChat, the embed also pings their linked Discord account, alongside any roles you've set. Use it with roles or on its own — by itself, the person who did it is the only one pinged. Turn it back off with enabled: False.

When the actor isn't pinged

  • Not linked / linking off — if the person who did it hasn't linked their account (or linking isn't enabled in this server), it quietly falls back to the roles you configured — and if there are none, no one is pinged.
  • Actions taken through LogDog — a ban or join-request response done with LogDog's own buttons doesn't self-ping the moderator (they're already acting here in Discord).

Manage your pings

  • /notify list — see every event → roles you've set up (a 👤 marks events that also ping the person who did it).
  • /notify remove — stop pinging a role for an event (same event + role options as add).
  • /notify actor … enabled: False — stop pinging the actor for an event.

Make the ping actually notify

Roles must be pingable

For a ping to truly notify people, one of these must be true:

  • the role is Mentionable — Server Settings → Roles → (the role) → Allow anyone to @mention this role, or
  • LogDog has the Mention @everyone, @here, and All Roles permission.

If neither is true, the mention still shows in the message but won't send a notification. /notify add warns you when this is the case.

Good to know

  • Pings are per event type — set them for exactly the events you want (bans, kicks, member removals, …). See the Event catalog for the full list.
  • The ping lands in whatever channel that event is routed to — change routing any time with /events.
  • Only the roles you choose are pinged; nothing else is mentioned.
