# Boost Message

> Thank members the moment they boost the server.

```text theme={null}
/config channel boost-channel #boosts
/config boost message "Thanks for boosting {server}, {user}!"
/config preview setting:boost-message
```

Default text is `thx 4 boosting {user}`.

## How it triggers

Criminal watches for the moment a member's boost status appears · `premium_since` going from empty to
set. That means:

* the message posts once, when the boost starts;
* re-boosting after lapsing counts as a new boost and posts again;
* a member who was already boosting when the bot joined is not announced retroactively.

## Useful placeholders

| Token | Output |
| - | - |
| `{user}` | The booster |
| `{user.name}` | Their username |
| `{server}` | Server name |
| `{guild.boosts}` | Current boost count |
| `{guild.boost_tier}` | Boost tier |

Boost events also land in the server log, independently of this message.

**No boost role here**

`boost-channel` is announcements only. The personal role boosters get is the
[booster role](https://docs.criminal.work/features/roles/booster.md) system, configured separately.
