Overview

This app can automatically forwards eve mails to Discord channels. This can e.g. be useful to include people in all hands communications, who do not check their eve mails that often, but still can be reached via Discord.

You can choose to just forward corporation or alliance mails only or all mails that a character receives.

This app is an add-on to Member Audit and requires you to have Member Audit installed and running. You can choose to forward mails from any character that is registered on Member Audit.
