Subscriber community bot
Hypothetical. Not a client, not a result.
// The problem
A podcast network's most loyal listeners gather in Discord and Telegram, but subscriber perks live on the website and moderators check memberships by hand.
// What we would build
A bot for Discord and Telegram that links each member to their subscription, grants the right roles and channels automatically, posts new episodes and alerts, and gives moderators a small web dashboard.
// What is in it
- Members link their subscription once, and roles follow it
- Perks removed when a subscription ends, without a moderator
- New episodes and breaking alerts posted to the right channels
- Moderation tools and a log moderators can review
- A web dashboard for the community team
// Stack
