Finding the user or role ID to use in a Discord mention is easy. Simply follow these steps:
Enable Developer Mode
To easily copy user and role ID's within the Discord client, Developer Mode must be enabled. This has to be done only once.
- Open "User Settings".
- Open the "Advanced" tab.
- Enable the "Developer Mode" toggle.
After enabling developer mode the ability to copy and paste identifiers is enabled.

A valid role ID is a numeric value from zero to nine (0-9) approximately 19 characters long.
Mentioning a role
To mention a role in an outgoing Readybot message use the syntax:

Replace the "ROLE_ID_HERE" placeholder with the copied role ID. For example, for the role 12345678987654321
