Automated Nightly Discord Channel Cleanup
detail.loadingPreview
This n8n workflow automatically cleans your Discord channels nightly by identifying and deleting messages older than seven days. Ensure your community spaces remain tidy and compliant with minimal manual effort.
About This Workflow
This powerful n8n workflow streamlines Discord channel management by automating the cleanup of old messages. Running every day at 9:00 p.m., it efficiently retrieves all channels, respecting Discord's API rate limits. It then meticulously loops through each channel, fetches messages, and filters out any content older than seven days. Finally, the workflow systematically deletes these aged messages, ensuring your Discord server remains clean, organized, and compliant with data retention policies, all without requiring constant manual oversight.
