• Keyword_ended: The keyword that the bot will look for inside the group shout for the ended event
• Tag_everyone: Wheteher the bot should tag everyone on the started event
• Message_started: The message the bout should send on start event this is how the messages look: @everyone (person who posted message on roblox group) message_started
• Message_ended: The message the bout should send on end event this is how the messages look:(person who posted message on roblox group) message_ended
• Interval: How often in seconds the bot should ping the api, longer times result in more time for the bot to update, less time might make the api throttle the connection.

The started keyword is set to "hosting": This is what the bot returns in specified channel:

The ended keyword is set to "over":

This is what the bot returns in specified channel:

This ofcourse works for any keywords, and keywords need to cycle. Meaning the bot will never send the started message twice or ended message twice, started event <-> ended event.

If the bot dosent work try running both keywords again.
