How to add a function to discord.py event loop?

Question

I am using Python with discord.py. Documentation here

I\'ve got a bot that is running on a Discord server that links the server with a subr

You can add a function to the bot event loop with Client.loop.create_task(search_submissions()) like this:

async def search_submissions():
    pass

client = discord.Client()

client.loop.create_task(search_submissions())
client.run(TOKEN)

Update:

If you want your function to continue working you can put it in a while loop with some sleeping in between:

async def search_submissions():
    while(true):
        # do your stuff
        await asyncio.sleep(1)
