Setting up Discord sticky messages requires Manage Server permission.
How to set up a Discord sticky message
1
Write the message you want to keep visible
Send a normal text message containing the rules, announcement, FAQ, event link, or other content you want to use as the sticky message. Markdown and Discord emojis are supported.
2
Copy the Discord message link
Right-click the message, or tap and hold it on mobile, then select Copy Message Link. The source message must be in the same Discord server and must contain text written by a person rather than another bot.
3
Run the sticky message command
Use
/sticky-message add channel: message_url:. Select the destination channel for the sticky post and paste the message link into message_url:.4
Test the sticky message
Send a normal message in the destination channel. Scrump will refresh the sticky message after the channel becomes active.
How Discord sticky messages work
A native Discord pinned message stays in the channel’s pin list, but it does not remain at the bottom of the conversation. A sticky message bot solves that problem by reposting the selected content after new chat messages and deleting its older copy. Scrump ignores bot messages and uses a short cooldown to avoid excessive reposting. Only the newest copy should remain in the channel. This makes Discord sticky messages useful for:- Channel rules and posting requirements
- Support instructions and frequently asked questions
- Event schedules, applications, and important links
- Marketplace disclaimers or ticket guidance
- Reminders that should stay below the latest conversation
Create a rich embed sticky message
Use/sticky-message edit to open the server dashboard editor. You can replace the plain sticky message with a Discord embed containing an author, linked title, description, timestamp, fields, and a full-size image. The editor includes a live Discord preview.
Free servers can use the default blue colour, a regular image, and up to two embed fields. Scrump Plus unlocks custom colours, a thumbnail, footer text with an optional icon, and up to 25 fields.
Manage or remove sticky messages
Use/sticky-message list to see every channel with a configured sticky message.
Use /sticky-message edit to change sticky text, embed content, or styling from the dashboard.
Use /sticky-message remove channel: to stop the automatic sticky message in a channel.
Discord sticky message troubleshooting
If the Discord sticky message is not posting, check the following:- The source message link belongs to the same server.
- The source is a non-empty text message written by a member, not a bot.
- Scrump can view the source channel and read its message history.
- Scrump can send messages in the destination channel.
- The selected channel appears in
/sticky-message list. - A member, rather than a bot, has sent a new message to trigger the refresh.
