Analyst Poll Bot

Clone of my public analyst-poll-bot make any updates to it if any are done here.

Overview

Analyst Poll Bot is a Discord bot designed to facilitate daily polls in specific channels of a Discord server. It automates the process of collecting user feedback on whether they were "green" or "red" for the day following a specific analyst. The bot also logs these results, providing both daily and all-time statistics for each poll. It stores all the poll results in a database using SQLite.

It updates the poll message in real-time to show the current results. It sends a message to a specified log channel that updates in real-time to show daily & all time results for each channel a poll is in.

Features

• Automated Polls: Polls are automatically posted Monday-Friday at 1:05 PM PST in specified channels.
• Manual Poll Trigger: Polls can be manually triggered using the !startpolls command. This simulates as if a daily poll has been sent, for testing.
• User Interaction: Users can interact with the poll by selecting one of the options: "Green", "Red", or "Did not follow/trade".
• Result Logging: Daily and all-time results are logged in a specified channel, including the number of votes and their percentages.
• Poll Disabling: Polls are automatically disabled after 10 hours to prevent further interactions.

How It Works

Dependencies

• discord.js: A powerful JavaScript library for interacting with the Discord API.
• node-cron: A cron-like and not-cron-like job scheduler for Node.js.
• Database: A custom database module for storing and retrieving poll results.

   git clone https://github.com/just-rich/analyst-poll-bot.git
   cd poll-bot

     "pollChannels": ["CHANNEL_ID_1", "CHANNEL_ID_2"],
     "logChannelId": "LOG_CHANNEL_ID"
   }

   • token: Your Discord bot token.
