How to Set Up Automated Messages on Your FiveM Server

Last updated: July 23, 2026

This guide shows you how to set up automated messages on your FiveM server — for example, countdown warnings before a scheduled restart or a "Join our Discord" message that repeats every 15 minutes. There are two ways to set up automated messages on your FiveM server: via txAdmin built-in warnings or via a standalone resource for recurring timed messages.

Via txAdmin

txAdmin is the web interface used to manage your FiveM server — you can reach it from your panel's Console, where its address and Master PIN are shown.

Scheduled Restart Warnings

txAdmin automatically sends countdown warnings before scheduled restarts at 30, 15, 10, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1 minutes. Configure restart schedules under Settings → Restart Schedule.

Manual Announcements

From the txAdmin dashboard, use the Announce feature to broadcast a message immediately.

Custom Announcement Handling

To use your own UI instead of the default, add to server.cfg:

setr txAdmin-hideDefaultAnnouncement true
setr txAdmin-hideDefaultScheduledRestartWarning true

Resources can then listen for txAdmin:events:announcement and txAdmin:events:scheduledRestart events.

Via Standalone Resource

For timed recurring messages (e.g., "Join our Discord" every 15 minutes):

  1. Download an announcement resource from the cfx.re Releases forum.
  2. Upload and configure — Log in to the NolimitHost Game Panel at https://panel.nolimithost.cc/ and select your FiveM server. Upload the resource to resources/ via Files in the left sidebar. Edit the config to set messages, intervals, and display style.
  3. Add to server.cfg — Stop the server from the Console page first, so the server doesn't overwrite your changes while you edit files. Add ensure my_announcement_resource to server.cfg, save it, then start the server again from Console.
Note: FiveM has no built-in convar for simple timed chat messages — a resource is required for recurring automated announcements.
