Set your server messages once and let them run on any schedule.
AutoBroadcast sends timed server and Discord messages on interval, clock time, or cron schedules, with line rotation and a full send log kept on your own box.
Typing the same announcements by hand gets old fast. AutoBroadcast takes that chore off your plate. Write each message once, give it a schedule, and it turns up in game and on Discord right on time. Every message picks its own timing, its own words, and where it lands, from a quiet chat line to a big notice across the middle of the screen. Timing can be a plain interval, a list of clock times, or a cron string.
{online}, {server}, {time}, {date}, {day} or {uptime} into any line and I fill them in as the message goes out.Days, or to a daily window with ActiveFrom and ActiveTo. The window may run past midnight.FireOnStart sends a message the moment the server is ready, and JitterSeconds keeps two messages off the very same second.LogSends turns it off.Enabled on any single message to park it while the rest carry on.From the server console or over RCON:
| Command | What It Does | Where |
|---|---|---|
AutoBroadcast.Reload |
Reload the config and rebuild every message live, no restart needed. | Both |
AutoBroadcast.Say <name> |
Fire a named broadcast right now, on demand. | Both |
AutoBroadcast.TestDiscord |
Send a test embed to your webhook so you can check Discord works. | Console |
There is one chat command. Its name sits in config.json, so you can rename it or switch it off there.
| Command | What It Does |
|---|---|
/broadcasts |
List every broadcast and whether each one is on or off. Staff only. |
| Node | What It Unlocks |
|---|---|
AutoBroadcast.Admin |
Use the /broadcasts chat command. |
Without the Permissions plugin the admin check lets everyone through, so any player could run /broadcasts. Install it and give the node to your staff group to close that gap. Console and RCON never need a node, since they already belong to you.

What does AutoBroadcast do?
AutoBroadcast sends your server messages for you, on whatever schedule you set. You write each message once in config.json with a timing, a style and a colour, and it turns up in game and in your Discord channel at the right moment, over and over, without you typing a thing.
How do I install AutoBroadcast?
Unzip the download and drop the whole AutoBroadcast folder into ArkApi/Plugins/, keeping the folder name as it is so it matches the DLL. Write your messages in config.json, then restart the server through the AsaApi loader and watch ArkApi.log for the loaded line.
Can it send restart warnings?
Yes, and that is what most owners set up first. Give a message a times schedule and list your warning clock times, like 03:30, 03:45 and 03:55, then pick the notify style so the warning fills the middle of the screen in red. Each time the clock reaches one of those times the warning fires once.
I changed config.json. Do I have to restart?
No. Run AutoBroadcast.Reload from the console or over RCON and every message rebuilds on the spot. New messages start, deleted ones stop, and your players never notice.
Can a message run only at weekends, or only at night?
Yes. Add Days to a schedule, like ["Fri", "Sat", "Sun"], and it skips the rest of the week. For a nightly window set ActiveFrom and ActiveTo, and the window is allowed to cross midnight, so 22:00 to 02:00 works fine.
Do I need Discord or MySQL?
Neither. AutoBroadcast keeps its send log in a local SQLite file with nothing for you to set up, and Discord ships switched off. Turn Discord on when you want the same lines in a channel, and reach for MySQL only when several servers should share one log.
Was any AI content used in the making of this?
The source code itself was fully created by myself. I do use ChatGPT occasionally to generate product images, and I do use ChatGPT to generate the website descriptions. I do this because I don't speak native English perfectly. I am natively from Sweden, so I use GPT to help translate and write product descriptions. I also will sometimes use GPT to write better English logs. Majority of my Free plugins are open source, so you can review the code yourself and freely fork and edit it to your liking.

Here is what this listing gives you, as of October 23, 2026:
Yes. AutoBroadcast is free to download on GameServersHub. There is no payment step, subscription or trial limit.
You only need a free GameServersHub account, which you can create by signing in with Discord or Steam.
Yes. AutoBroadcast is free, so every new release the creator publishes on this page is free too. Download the latest version from the same button.
Before you commit, check these points from this page:
Yes. Downloads need a GameServersHub account so the file is delivered to you and your access is recorded. Accounts are free: sign in with Discord or Steam, there is no separate password.
The current release is 2.9 MB. That is small enough to upload to a rented server through its web file manager.
GameServersHub stores the AutoBroadcast file itself, so you download it directly from this page rather than from a third party mirror.
Each download link is made for you when you press the button, works once, and expires within about a minute, so links cannot be shared or hotlinked.
AutoBroadcast is published by Lucas F, whose profile shows their history on the site. Listings go live when the creator publishes them, and GameServersHub moderators remove any listing found to be harmful or misleading.
The latest release has a published SHA-256 checksum (ef2908716330...) that GameServersHub verified at upload. Compare it with your download to confirm the file is unchanged.
Nobody has reviewed it yet.
As with anything you install on a server, scan the file, read the code or config where you can, and test on a copy first.
The usual steps are:
The creator's description has the exact folders and settings for AutoBroadcast. Where they differ from this outline, follow the creator.
From this listing's data, you need:
The creator's description has exact version numbers and anything specific to your platform.
The latest version is 0.0.4, released on July 21, 2026. It is a patch release, which fixes bugs without changing features.
The Download button on this page always gives you the latest version.
AutoBroadcast was first published on GameServersHub on July 21, 2026, 93 days ago.
The creator's notes for 0.0.4 (July 21, 2026): Version 0.0.4. Imported from the developer's release catalog.
Unless the creator sets different terms in the description, downloading AutoBroadcast gives you a personal, non-exclusive license to use it for running your own game servers or projects. It is not a transfer of ownership.
Read the full wording in the resource license terms.
The default license covers your own game servers or projects, so running AutoBroadcast on several servers you operate is allowed unless the creator says otherwise in the description.
Servers you run for someone else, such as a client, are not your own; ask the creator first.
AutoBroadcast has 0 downloads and 1 page view on GameServersHub. It is one of 26 ARK: Survival Ascended plugins on the site.
AutoBroadcast has not been reviewed yet. Once you sign in you can be the first to rate it in the Reviews tab.
That depends on what your server needs, so here are the facts to weigh: it is free, nobody has reviewed it yet, it has 0 downloads and its latest release is 0.0.4 from July 21, 2026.
No other GameServersHub resources are listed as required for AutoBroadcast. Check the description for software it expects on the machine itself.
Usually, yes. If your host gives you file access to the server (a web file manager, FTP or SFTP), you can upload AutoBroadcast the same way as on your own machine.
Some hosts lock certain folders or only allow mods from their own list. Check that your plan allows custom files, and check the description for anything that needs extra access, such as a database or a framework install.
Back up the folders it writes to and every config file it replaces. With a copy you can roll back in minutes if AutoBroadcast conflicts with something else on the server.
Many hosts have a one click backup in their panel; take one right before you install.
The creator has not published a config preview for AutoBroadcast. The description explains which settings you can change.
GameServersHub does not test resources against each game patch, so go by the release history. The latest release, 0.0.4, came out on July 21, 2026 (93 days ago).
If a recent game update changed something it relies on, the newest reviews on this page and the creator's changelog in the Versions tab are the quickest way to find out.
Its impact depends on your player count and settings, and GameServersHub does not benchmark resources. Any figures the creator gives are in the description.
A safe way to find out: install it on a test copy, watch CPU, memory and tick rate with your normal player load, then compare with the server before.
Its last release, 0.0.4, came out 93 days ago (July 21, 2026). That can mean it is stable rather than abandoned, so check recent reviews and the description.
Download the latest release from this page, back up your current config, then replace the old files with the new ones and restart.
Read the changelog in the Versions tab first: major releases can change config options, so compare your old settings with the new defaults.
Share this page instead of the file. AutoBroadcast is free, so anyone can download their own copy, and the creator sees every download.
Changing its settings for your own servers is what the config is for. Deeper edits for your own use are not forbidden by the default license, but sharing an edited copy still counts as redistribution, which is not allowed without the creator's permission.
Keep a note of your changes: updates to AutoBroadcast can overwrite edited files.
No, unless the creator explicitly allows it. The default license forbids redistributing, reselling, leaking or publicly mirroring AutoBroadcast or any part of it, and passing it off as your own work.
Breaking the license can end your access and your account. Spotted a leaked copy? Tell the creator or GameServersHub staff.
The default license does not require an on-screen credit, but you may not present the work as your own. If Lucas F asks for credit in the description, follow that.
A short credit in your server info or Discord is a good way to support creators either way.
Start with the description. Still stuck? Describe the problem in a review so Lucas F sees it, with your version, your server setup and the exact error message.
You can also ask in the GameServersHub Discord, where creators and server owners help each other.
For a bug or setup issue, tell the creator in a review. If the listing itself looks wrong (stolen work, a harmful file or a misleading description), contact GameServersHub staff in the GameServersHub Discord or through the contact details in the terms of service. Moderators can hide or remove listings.
Yes. Any signed in member can rate AutoBroadcast from one to five stars and write about their experience in the Reviews tab.
Specific reviews (your game version, setup and what worked) help other server owners most.
Yes. Any member can upload a resource, free or paid. Creators keep their sales minus a small platform fee and are paid through Stripe or PayPal. See becoming a creator for plans and fees.
