About — SkyNet

THE PLATFORM

SkyNet aggregates flight schedules from multiple Roblox airlines into a single, unified departure board. Each airline operates their own Discord server, where they create events for upcoming flights. Our Discord bot monitors those servers in real-time and automatically syncs everything to this website.

Passengers no longer need to check multiple Discord servers. One site, every flight, all airlines.

Real-time sync from Discord Events API

Automatic create / modify / cancel detection

Multi-airline support with individual branding

Email subscriptions — daily digest and per-flight alerts

Live status updates (Scheduled → Boarding → Departed)

THE BOT

The SkyNet Discord bot runs continuously and listens to GUILD_SCHEDULED_EVENT_* gateway events from each registered airline server.

When an event is created, updated, or deleted on Discord, the bot fires an API request to the SkyNet backend within seconds. Subscribed users are notified by email within minutes of any change.

# Events the bot listens for:
GUILD_SCHEDULED_EVENT_CREATE  → POST /api/flights
GUILD_SCHEDULED_EVENT_UPDATE  → PATCH /api/flights/:id
GUILD_SCHEDULED_EVENT_DELETE  → DELETE /api/flights/:id
GUILD_SCHEDULED_EVENT_USER_ADD → PATCH /api/flights/:id/pax

# Event metadata mapped to flight fields:
event.name         → Flight number + route
event.description  → Flight details + host
event.scheduled_start_time → Departure time (UTC)
event.location     → Gate / aircraft info
    

ADDING YOUR AIRLINE

Want to join the SkyNet network? It's straightforward. You run your airline on Discord as normal — we just need to add our bot to your server with the correct permissions.

Required bot permissions:
  VIEW_CHANNEL
  READ_MESSAGE_HISTORY
  VIEW_GUILD_INSIGHTS (for scheduled events)

Intents required:
  GUILD_SCHEDULED_EVENTS

Invite link format:
  https://discord.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=YOUR_BOT_ID
  &scope=bot&permissions=VIEW_CHANNEL,GUILD_SCHEDULED_EVENTS
    

Once added, format your Discord events with the following naming convention so the bot can parse them correctly:

Event Name:  [FLIGHT_CODE] ORIGIN → DEST
Example:     SKW001 LHR → JFK

Description (first line): Aircraft | Gate | Host: username
Example:                  Boeing 747-8 | Gate A12 | Host: CaptainVelix

Remaining lines: Free-text flight description for passengers.
    

EMAIL NOTIFICATIONS

SkyNet's notification system is powered by a lightweight email API. When a flight is modified or cancelled, the backend queries all subscribers for that flight and queues an email within seconds.

Daily digest: sent at your chosen UTC time each morning

Modification alerts: sent when a flight's time, gate, or aircraft changes

Cancellation alerts: sent the moment a flight is deleted on Discord

Boarding alerts: sent when flight status switches to Boarding

New flight alerts: sent to airline followers when a new event is posted

BACKEND API

The public API is open for airline developers and third-party integrations. All endpoints return JSON.

GET  /api/flights          → All active flights
GET  /api/flights/:id      → Single flight detail
GET  /api/airlines         → All registered airlines
GET  /api/airlines/:id/flights → Flights by airline

POST /api/subscribe/digest    → Daily digest signup
POST /api/subscribe/flight    → Per-flight alert signup
POST /api/subscribe/airline   → Airline follow signup
DELETE /api/subscribe/:token  → Unsubscribe
