Attendance Discord Bot

Inspiration

We had this particular event in our college, which was being conducted online and in Discord. The main issue that was being faced is that, keeping a track of people who are actually attending the sessions and joining in the meetings, since this data would actually help us to generate certificates for people attending the event.

We eventually came up with an idea of a Discord Bot that tracks who has joined the session/meetings/voice channels. But this idea was being a bit complicated for us to be implemented since people had weird usernames on their Discord accounts (obviously XD). The second idea was people actually manually giving their attendance in the chats and the bot somehow recognises the text and stores the attendance.

What it does

This bot records attendances put in by the users and stores them into a csv file. The trigger word for the bot is "Attendance" followed by Name, Surname and other details.
