# Scheduling exports on Windows
|
|
|
|
We'll be using [DiscordChatExporter CLI](https://github.com/Tyrrrz/DiscordChatExporter/releases/latest), PowerShell, and Task Scheduler.
|
|
|
|
## Creating the script
|
|
|
|
1. Open a text editor such as Notepad and paste:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
# Info: https://github.com/Tyrrrz/DiscordChatExporter/blob/master/.docs
|
|
|
|
$TOKEN = "tokenhere"
|
|
$CHANNEL = "channelhere"
|
|
$EXEPATH = "exefolderhere"
|
|
$FILENAME = "filenamehere"
|
|
$EXPORTDIRECTORY = "dirhere"
|
|
$EXPORTFORMAT = "formathere"
|
|
# Available export formats: PlainText, HtmlDark, HtmlLight, Json, Csv
|
|
|
|
cd $EXEPATH
|
|
|
|
.\DiscordChatExporter.Cli.exe export -t $TOKEN -c $CHANNEL -f $EXPORTFORMAT -o "$FILENAME.tmp"
|
|
|
|
$Date = Get-Date -Format "yyyy-MM-dd-HH-mm"
|
|
|
|
If($EXPORTFORMAT -match "PlainText"){mv "$FILENAME.tmp" -Destination "$EXPORTDIRECTORY\$FILENAME-$Date.txt"}
|
|
ElseIf($EXPORTFORMAT -match "HtmlDark"){mv "$FILENAME.tmp" -Destination "$EXPORTDIRECTORY\$FILENAME-$Date.html"}
|
|
ElseIf($EXPORTFORMAT -match "HtmlLight"){mv "$FILENAME.tmp" -Destination "$EXPORTDIRECTORY\$FILENAME-$Date.html"}
|
|
ElseIf($EXPORTFORMAT -match "Json"){mv "$FILENAME.tmp" -Destination "$EXPORTDIRECTORY\$FILENAME-$Date.json"}
|
|
ElseIf($EXPORTFORMAT -match "Csv"){mv "$FILENAME.tmp" -Destination "$EXPORTDIRECTORY\$FILENAME-$Date.csv"}
|
|
exit
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. Replace:
|
|
|
|
- `tokenhere` with your [Token](Token-and-IDs.md)
|
|
- `channelhere` with a [Channel ID](Token-and-IDs.md)
|
|
- `exefolderhere` with the .exe **directory's path** (e.g. C:\Users\User\Desktop\DiscordChatExporter)
|
|
- `filenamehere` with a filename without spaces
|
|
- `dirhere` with the export directory (e.g. C:\Users\User\Documents\Exports)
|
|
- `formathere` with one of the available export formats
|
|
|
|
Make sure not to delete the quotes (")
|
|
|
|
3. Save the file as `filename.ps1`, not as `.txt`
|
|
|
|
> **Note**: You can also modify the script to use other options, such as `include-threads` or switch to a different command, e. g. `exportguild`.
|
|
|
|
## Export at Startup
|
|
|
|
1. Press Windows + R, type `shell:startup` and press ENTER
|
|
2. Paste `filename.ps1` or a shortcut into this folder
|
|
|
|
## Scheduling with Task Scheduler
|
|
|
|
Please note that your computer must be turned on for the export to happen.
|
|
|
|
1. Press Windows + R, type `taskschd.msc` and press ENTER
|
|
2. Select `Task Scheduler Library`, create a Basic Task, and follow the instructions on-screen

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. At 'Start a Program', write `powershell -file -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -WindowStyle Hidden "C:\path\to\filename.ps1"` in the Program/script text box
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. Click 'Yes'
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. Click 'Finish'
|
