dispatch an event for when someone (un)pauses server invites

[keqking]

Greetings,

Right now, there is no way for a bot to effectively know who paused/unpaused the server invites and this becomes a bit challenging (or time-consuming) to deal with on large Discord communities where you have a team of many moderators/administrators who can execute said action. A gateway event to listen to this action through bot and to log who executed this action would be really helpful in such aforementioned large communities.

Sounds like this is a request for logging when invites are paused/unpaused in the guild's audit log, not for a new gateway event.

Pausing/unpausing invites already triggers the GUILD_UPDATE event with an updated features array, but gateway events other than GUILD_AUDIT_LOG_ENTRY_CREATE (which is emitted whenever something is added to the guild's audit log) do not specify who performed an action.

[keqking]

well, that would work too.

You are right that pausing/unpausing invites already triggers GUILD_UPDATE event but lacks user_id prop for said event entry/payload like most gateway events have from my understanding, which helps to identify the perpetrator/moderator who did the said action.

[advaith1]

most gateway events do not have a user_id property, generally the only way to know who did an action is through the audit log

if an event has a user_id property then that is probably a user who was modified in the action, not the user who did the action

[keqking]

yes

@advaith1 you are right, sincere apologies. Only the newly added gateway event per #5849 has user_id prop in its payload, for rest we need to manually fetch who did action through GET /guilds/:id/audit-logs request.

Upon re-reading your initial message, I would like to ask if the current discussion title seems vague/not relevant enough to my described feature request? If yes, then please suggest a more appropriate title so to better aid others in understanding this discussion and to clear any potential confusion. Thanks.
