Admin Commands

Admin commands are available to users listed in the admins config for Discord or Telegram, and to delegated admins for their targets.

REST API

Most admin surfaces — user/tracking/profile CRUD, auto-create, DTS editing, named locations — are also available over HTTP. See the API index for a summary and API.md in the PoracleNG repo for the canonical endpoint reference.

Channel Management

!channel add                        # Register current channel for alerts
!channel remove                     # Unregister current channel
!channel add #channel-name          # Register a specific channel

/channel add                        # Register current group for alerts
/channel remove                     # Unregister current group

Registered channels receive alerts like a user would. They need areas and tracking set up.

User Management

!userlist                           # List registered users
!disable @user                      # Disable a user's alerts
!enable @user                       # Re-enable a user's alerts

/userlist
/disable <user_id>
/enable <user_id>

Tracking on Behalf of Users/Channels

Admins can manage tracking for any user or channel by mentioning them:

!track pikachu iv100 @user          # Add tracking for a user
!track pikachu iv100 #channel       # Add tracking for a channel
!area add downtown #channel         # Add area to a channel
!location 40.71,-74.00 #channel     # Set location for a channel

Admins can target specific users/groups by ID.

Broadcasting

Send a message to all registered users:

!broadcast Hello everyone!

/broadcast Hello everyone!

Backup & Restore

!backup                             # Download all tracking data as JSON
!restore                            # Restore from attached JSON file

/backup
/restore

Scripts

Run predefined tracking scripts:

!script <name>                      # Run a named script

Identify

Get IDs for the current channel/group/user:

!identify

/identify

Auto-create Channels

Build Discord channels (and optional categories, threads, and click-to-join pickers) from a template, either one area at a time or in bulk across every matching geofence.

!autocreate <template> <args...>            # Interactive: create one set of channels
!autocreate sync                            # Bulk: run all configured rules
!autocreate sync <rule>                     # Run one rule by name
!autocreate sync <rule> dryrun              # Preview without changing anything
!autocreate sync <rule> reset               # Re-apply commands on reused channels
!autocreate sync <rule> removals            # Delete orphaned channels
!autocreate sync <rule> removals force      # Bypass the safety threshold

See Channel Auto-create for the template format, rule configuration, and exactly what each keyword does. The same operations are available over HTTP via the Auto-create API.

Community Management (Area Security)

When area security is enabled:

!community list                     # List communities

Testing

Send test alerts to verify configuration:

!poracle-test pokemon
!poracle-test raid
!poracle-test pokestop
!poracle-test gym
!poracle-test nest
!poracle-test quest
!poracle-test fort-update
!poracle-test max-battle
