# Warn Automation

> PM players in ER:LC automatically when they're warned through the Mod Panel or Discord bot.

## What is Warn Automation?

Warn Automation sends a player an in-game PM when they're warned through the Mod Panel or the Discord bot. The PM includes the reason, so staff don't have to message the player themselves.

<Info>
  Requires [Melonly Plus](https://melonly.xyz/plus).
