Burger Bot’s ERLC Automation suite is purpose-built for Emergency Response: Liberty County (ERLC) roleplay communities on Discord. These features connect your Discord server management workflow directly to your in-game session lifecycle, making it easier to run organized, professional departments without constant manual intervention from your admin team.
ERLC Automation requires proper role and channel configuration before any of these features will function. Make sure your department roles, session channels, and ERLC integration settings are fully configured in /config before enabling automation. Incomplete configuration may result in missed announcements or incorrect role assignments.

Automatic Session Announcements

When a session vote passes, Burger Bot can automatically post a session announcement to your designated session announcement channel — no admin action required. What gets posted:
  • Session type (patrol, training, ride-along, etc.)
  • Session host and co-host names
  • Start time and expected duration
  • Callout ping (configurable — e.g., @PatrolPing or @here)
  • Any custom session notes provided during the vote
This eliminates the delay between a vote passing and the community being notified, keeping your sessions running on schedule. Configuration:
  • Navigate to /config → Automation → ERLC Automation → Session Announcements
  • Set the target announcement channel
  • Configure the ping role for session callouts
  • Customize the announcement embed template if desired
For session vote configuration, see the Session Vote Settings guide.

Automatic Session Image Posting

Burger Bot can automatically post session images — such as your department’s uniform callout graphic, map overview, or briefing image — when a session is announced or when a session phase begins. Supported triggers:
  • Session vote passes → posts the briefing/pre-session image
  • Session goes live → posts the in-session status image
  • Session ends → posts the post-session image (e.g., thank-you graphic)
Images are configured per session type, so your patrol sessions, training sessions, and events can each have their own set of automatic visuals.
Keep a library of department-branded session images ready and upload them during ERLC Automation setup. Consistent, professional visuals make your sessions feel polished and help members quickly understand what type of session is running.

Auto-Promotion Based on In-Game Activity

If you have in-game activity tracking configured, Burger Bot can automatically promote members in Discord when they reach activity milestones in ERLC. This feature rewards consistent participation and reduces the manual workload on your HR team. How it works:
  1. Burger Bot tracks session attendance and in-game hours (requires ERLC integration to be connected)
  2. When a member reaches a configured activity threshold, Burger Bot automatically assigns the next rank role in Discord
  3. A promotion notification is posted to your configured promotions channel
Configurable thresholds:
  • Minimum hours in-game per promotion tier
  • Minimum sessions attended
  • Cooldown period between promotions (to prevent rapid rank-climbing)
Auto-promotion is disabled by default and requires your ERLC integration to be active and your promotion thresholds to be fully configured. We recommend reviewing and testing your thresholds carefully before enabling this feature in a live server.

ERLC Department Role Sync

Burger Bot can link your ERLC department roles directly to your Discord roles, keeping your server structure aligned with your in-game department assignments. What role sync does:
  • Maps each ERLC department (e.g., Sheriff, Fire, DOT) to a corresponding Discord role
  • Automatically assigns or removes Discord roles when a member’s department changes
  • Keeps department-specific channels accessible to the right members without manual role management
Supported department mappings:
ERLC DepartmentDiscord Role (Example)
Blaine County Sheriff’s Office@BCSO
San Andreas Fire Department@SAFD
San Andreas State Patrol@SASP
Department of Transportation@DOT
Civilian@Civilian
Role names in Discord are fully customizable — the mapping connects any ERLC department to whichever Discord role you designate. Configuration:
  • Navigate to /config → Automation → ERLC Automation → Role Sync
  • Map each department to its corresponding Discord role
  • Enable the sync toggle
Ensure Burger Bot’s role in your Discord server is positioned above all department roles in the role hierarchy. Discord only allows bots to assign or remove roles that are lower than their own highest role. If Burger Bot’s role is too low, role sync will silently fail.
