# Daily Halloween countdown

The daily countdown can post an automated Halloween update to a selected channel.

## Configure it

1. Run `/setup` in your server. You need **Manage Server**.
2. Select the dashboard button shown by HalloweenBot.
3. Review the **enabled** setting, **channel**, **timezone** and **scheduled time**.
4. Review the delivery setting and webhook status where applicable.
5. Save your settings in the dashboard.

## Check the countdown

Use `/days`, `/hours`, `/minutes`, `/seconds`, `/weeks`, `/sleeps` or `/total` for an on-demand countdown.

## If a scheduled message does not arrive

- Check that the feature is enabled and the correct channel is selected.
- Confirm the timezone and scheduled time.
- Make sure HalloweenBot can send messages in the channel.
- Run `/reportcountdownissue` to report a persistent issue.
