It checks every 15 minutes
Discord is read on a schedule, so the bot acts within about 15 minutes rather than the instant someone posts, and it cannot answer a slash command. That suits welcomes, verification, support threads, giveaways and recaps.

Make a Discord bot by describing it
Tell Whenever what your Discord bot should do, in plain words. AI builds it, connects your bot, and runs it for you: no server to host, no code to write. It can welcome members, verify them, open support threads, draw giveaways and post recaps, and reach any of 1,400+ other tools while it does.
From a sentence to a running bot
The same three steps whether the bot welcomes members or files support requests.
- DescribeSay what the bot does
In plain words: what it answers, which of your apps it may use, and when to hand over to a person.
- ReviewSee every step
AI writes the bot once, as code. The builder shows it as a map of its steps before anything runs.
- PublishRun it on a schedule
Test it in a channel first, then publish. Whenever checks your server about every 15 minutes and does the job.
Discord bots to start from
Real briefs for the same kind of job. Pick one and Whenever writes it against your accounts; the code is yours to change from there.

How a Discord bot on Whenever answers, and what it costs to keep running.
Each check is a run
A bot on that schedule runs about 2,900 times a month, whether or not anyone posted. A run counts once however many tools the bot uses in it.
It reaches past Discord
A bot here can log a thread to Google Sheets, open a helpdesk ticket or check an order, because its tools are any of 1,400+ integrations or any API with published documentation.
Whenever, or a ready-made Discord bot?
Build it on Whenever when
- The job has to reach another tool: a sheet, a helpdesk, a store, a CRM.
- No plugin describes what you want, and you would rather say it than code it.
- You want to read what the bot does, and keep it as a file.
Keep a ready-made bot when
- You need instant slash commands, moderation or levels as members act.
- A plugin you switch on in a minute already does the job.
- The two can run side by side on one server.
A few useful answers
Can I make a Discord bot without coding?
Yes. Describe what the bot should do in plain words and Whenever writes it, connects it to your server through your Discord bot, and runs it. The code is there to read, but you never have to write it.
Do I need to host my Discord bot?
No. Whenever runs it for you on a schedule, with your bot token managed as a connection. There is no server or process of yours to keep online.
Is it free to make a Discord bot?
AI building and editing are free within weekly usage limits. You pay for runs once the bot is live, and on a 15-minute schedule one bot runs about 2,900 times a month.
Can the bot answer slash commands?
Not yet. Discord is checked about every 15 minutes, so the bot acts on what it finds rather than replying the moment a command is typed. For instant replies, Telegram and Slack bots on Whenever answer as the message arrives.
