Some time ago, we encountered a problem with Discourse-Automation where we could not send chat messages regularly. We use it to send weekly news in the chat channel. I noticed in the /logs that chat messages failed to send due to permission issues.
I think the sender configured in discourse automation should simply ignore the channel’s permission settings, since this is set by the administrator. In fact, I am using DiscoBot as the messaging user. Since DiscoBot was not active in the category bound to the channel - of course - it was automatically removed from the channel, and the scheduled chat message we set therefore undeliverable.
I don’t know, but I feel like this is a Contribute > Bug
