## Rules that apply
- Discord's Community Guidelines say not to use self-bots or user-bots, that each account must be associated with a human, and not to send unsolicited bulk messages. Source: [Discord Community Guidelines](https://discord.com/guidelines)
- Slack reviews an app against its guidelines before listing it in the Slack Marketplace, may deny any app a listing, and requires a new review after substantial changes.

## A cheaper way to do it
- On paid Slack plans, Workflow Builder can start workflows on a schedule or from actions in Slack and connect to other apps, which may cover a simple Slack task without a custom bot.
