Recipe: Discord channel daily summary

Configure Meridian to post a structured daily digest of a Discord channel — message count, top contributors, trending links, and sentiment — into a target channel every morning.

Prerequisites

  • Meridian bot invited to both source and target servers
  • READ_MESSAGE_HISTORY and SEND_MESSAGES permissions
  • Meridian Pro or Enterprise plan

Step 1 — Create the recipe

Run /recipe create daily-summary in any channel the bot can see. Meridian will prompt for the source channel, target channel, and delivery time (UTC).

Step 2 — Customize the template

Edit the summary layout with /recipe template daily-summary. Use placeholders like {{message_count}} and {{top_links}} to control output.

Step 3 — Activate

/recipe enable daily-summary starts the schedule. The first digest arrives at the next configured time.

Tip: Combine with the sentiment filter recipe to exclude toxic messages from the summary automatically.
