Auto-Purge

AutoPurge runs message cleanup on a schedule, so you don't have to manually purge the same channel over and over. It's built for things like spam-prone channels, temporary announcement channels, or any channel that needs to stay tidy without constant attention.

All AutoPurge commands are grouped under /ap and require permission to manage the server.

Set up AutoPurge for a channel

/ap setup channel

Opens a configuration flow where you set the interval, what to delete, and any extra filters for that channel.

Check current configurations

/ap status

Shows every channel with AutoPurge configured in your server, along with its current settings.

Turn a channel's AutoPurge on or off

/ap toggle channel

Pauses or resumes AutoPurge for a channel without deleting its configuration — useful if you want to temporarily stop it.

Manage exemptions

/ap exempt channel

Lets you exclude specific roles or users from being purged in a channel — handy for pinned announcements from staff, for example.

Remove AutoPurge from a channel

/ap remove channel

Permanently deletes the AutoPurge configuration for that channel.

Run a cycle immediately

/ap runnow channel

Triggers an AutoPurge cycle right now instead of waiting for the next scheduled run — useful for testing your configuration.

How it relates to /purge

/purge is a one-time, manual action. AutoPurge is the "set it and forget it" version — configure it once, and Lumière keeps a channel clean on its own going forward.
