Discord Event Reminder Message Template (Copy-Paste for Community Admins)

Copy practical Discord event reminder message templates for 24h, 1h, and last-call notices using dynamic timestamps that auto-convert by timezone.

If you run events for members in multiple regions, your reminder message quality decides attendance.

This guide gives you a practical discord event reminder message template workflow you can use immediately.

Before posting, generate one shared Unix timestamp with the Discord Time Converter. Keep that same Unix value in every reminder so your timeline stays consistent.

If you rely on bots for scheduled reminders, do a fast pre-check with the Bot Status Checker before event day.

Use this variable format in every template

Replace these placeholders once, then reuse:

  • {EVENT_NAME}
  • {CHANNEL}
  • {RULES_LINK}
  • {UNIX}
  • {CTA} (example: "React with ✅ to join")

Recommended timestamp pair:

  • Full date/time: <t:{UNIX}:F>
  • Relative countdown: <t:{UNIX}:R>

Reminder cadence that works for most community events

  • T-24h: planning reminder + expectations
  • T-1h: high-visibility ping + quick checklist
  • T-15m: last call + where to join
  • T-0: live now message in event channel

Do not invent new wording every week. Reusable templates reduce mistakes.

Template 1: 24-hour reminder

@Event-Ping
Heads up: **{EVENT_NAME}** starts at <t:{UNIX}:F> (<t:{UNIX}:R>).

Please review: {RULES_LINK}
Join channel: {CHANNEL}
{CTA}

Why this works: members get exact time plus countdown context in one message.

Template 2: 1-hour reminder

@Event-Ping
**1 hour to go** for {EVENT_NAME}.
Start time: <t:{UNIX}:F> (<t:{UNIX}:R>)

Quick prep:
- Confirm your role/loadout
- Check voice permissions
- Be in {CHANNEL} 10 minutes early

Why this works: short and operational, no fluff.

Template 3: 15-minute last call

@Event-Ping
Last call for **{EVENT_NAME}** - we begin <t:{UNIX}:R>.

If you are joining, move to {CHANNEL} now.
Late joins follow queue order.

Why this works: clear action and expectation for late arrivals.

Template 4: live now message

@Event-Ping
{EVENT_NAME} is now live.
Scheduled time: <t:{UNIX}:F>

Go to {CHANNEL}.
Host notes and updates will be posted in-thread.

Why this works: it closes the loop and redirects traffic to one place.

Template 5: follow-up for no-shows and next session

Thanks for joining {EVENT_NAME}.
If you missed this round, next session will be posted soon.

To avoid missing it again, enable notifications for this channel.

Why this works: keeps no-shows warm without guilt language.

Admin checklist before hitting send

  • Timestamp preview is correct (<t:{UNIX}:F> renders in Discord)
  • Ping role is correct (no accidental @everyone)
  • Destination channel is correct
  • Rules or signup link is still valid
  • Reminder cadence messages are queued in advance

A good reminder is specific, timezone-safe, and easy to act on. Use these templates as your default baseline, then adjust wording to match your server culture.
