What happens to a link

How ApolloBot works

Post a supported link like you normally would. ApolloBot fixes the embed and gives the person who posted it control over the relay.

You post a supported social link

ApolloBot checks enabled channels for links it supports. Providers can change over time, so you can use /providers to see what the bot is currently using.

ApolloBot fixes the link

ApolloBot uses your preferred provider when you have one set, otherwise it uses the default provider for that platform. It then reposts the fixed link through its webhook using the original poster’s display name and avatar.

The person who posted it gets the controls

If relay buttons are enabled, the person who posted the link can switch providers or remove the relay. Server admins can hide the buttons, disable them or change their cooldown.

Activity contributes to stats

Fixed embeds count towards user and server stats, platform usage and achievements. The Privacy Policy explains what ApolloBot stores for this.

Replies stay useful

ApolloBot keeps replies around relayed posts useful, including pinging the original poster when needed.

You can opt out

/usersettings lets you turn embed fixing off for the current server or everywhere. You can also choose preferred providers, control reply notifications and choose the language ApolloBot uses for your DM commands from the same menu.

Privacy

ApolloBot processes the message and link information it needs to make and manage relays. It also stores some IDs and usage information for settings, stats and achievements. You can read exactly what is stored in the Privacy Policy.
