我是新手，我对于创建自定义自动化教程有一些疑问。我初次尝试了在github codespace开发环境直接编写自动化脚本（我并不懂语法，代码是由Claude编写的）。修改完成后，文件结构应该是这样的： plugins/automation/ ├── lib/ │ └── discourse_automation/ │ ├── scripts.rb # 已修改 │ └── scripts/ │ ├── ... # 其他脚本 │ └── remove_expired_group_members.rb # 新增 └── config/ └── locales/ ├── server.en.yml # 已修改 ├── client.en.yml # 已修改 ├── server.zh_CN.yml # 已修改 └── client.zh_CN.yml # 已修改但是我不清楚在生产环境，是否可以这样操作。另外我不清楚这样的修改是否会随着rebuild或者automation插件更新而丢失，所以不敢在生产环境尝试。也许应该提交功能申请，由插件维护人员添加？希望有经验的朋友能够告知，从编写测试到生产环境应用到正确的操作流程。非常感谢！

我已查看了您给出的链接请问，您是否可以为我解释一下，为什么应该使用插件而非在自动化插件中创建脚本？ 1，我并不专业，看上去创建插件似乎更加困难一些 2，我有许多的功能需要实现，这似乎需要创建很多插件？（尽管我也喜欢插件，可以共享）

If I’m not wrong, if you make changes to the plugin, it will be overwritten the next time there’s an update.

OK，这正是我所担心的那么自定义自动化功能似乎对用户的意义不大？ :joy: 我再去查看一下文档，如果不行，我会尝试创建插件

[imagen] qi_lu: So the custom automation feature doesn’t seem to mean much to the user? :joy: I think the tutorial (which is a draft) is lacking this information. It explains how to create new automations, but not where to do it. The answers mention plugin examples though, like the one linked by @NateDhaliwal. Simon also suggests having a look at the data explorer plugin: Create custom Automations - #6 by simon. [imagen] qi_lu: So the custom automation feature doesn’t seem to mean much to the user? :joy: Depends what you mean by “user”? :smile: As a developer, you can surely create a new plugin that adds automations. This is the way to do it properly. Since you mention not understanding code, but being able to use AI for this, perhaps you’ll find this discussion interesting. Claude & Discourse-related development. How good is it?. I’m currently experimenting with this (but I do have vague notions of code – not enough to create even a simple plugin by myself!), and will share my recent experience with it soon. Since Claude directed you to edit the automation plugin, you may want to refine your prompts and have the AI follow actual good practices.

[imagen] qi_lu: So the custom automation feature doesn’t seem to mean much to the user? No. What makes it a custom automation is that it’s not one that is built in. You’ll need to add a new one in a plugin. GitHub - scossar/automation-script-example: An example of how to add a custom script to the Discourse Automation plugin. · GitHub, linked in the tutorial. You can start with that and try telling whatever AI that you want to add a new customization. What do you want your custom automation to do?

我需要一个可以自动移除到期的群组成员的自动化脚本。设定群组和时长，到期自动移除用户。例如：设定：VIP群组，30天时长。用户加入VIP群组后到达30天即被移除。我现在越来越困惑，不清楚自动化插件到底能不能保存我自己编写的自动化脚本。（前面的评论指出会被覆盖）如果是您，您通常会如何使用自动化插件？您是否可以准确描述一下您的使用方式（自动化插件的内置脚本和触发器无法满足需求的情况下）？我想我能从您的场景描述中学习自定义功能的运作方式

How are users added to the vip group? Or probably makes sense to have whatever adds them to the group to also remove them. That’s what the subscription plugin does, for example. Automations are not removed, but editing code in your container is. You need a trigger for when a user is added to a group, and an action to remove them from a group after a period of time. I’m not sure how easy that is to do.
