If Discord rejects a message
Raycast sees the same message and can fix the message for you.
| What you see | How to fix it |
|---|---|
| Bot lacks permission to send messages in this channel | Give the BrokenPost bot the Send Messages permission in that channel. |
| Channel no longer exists | Pick another channel in the Discord settings of the post. |
| Rate limited by Discord | Discord slowed the bot down. The post retries, or retry it from the calendar. |
