# /ban-async

{% hint style="danger" %}
Bans published through this endpoint **will not** execute the following actions unless initiated via the Discord slash command:

* **Notify the banned user** (if notifications are enabled).
* **Forcefully disconnect the client** using MessagingService via the Roblox Open Cloud API.

This limitation exists because the Sentinel API does not directly handle these enforcement actions. Instead, these tasks are managed by the Sentinel Discord bot when a ban is issued through the `/ban` command.

**Future Considerations**

We may explore expanding the API to include these functionalities in the future, allowing for more automated enforcement directly from API calls.

**Roblox `BanAsync` Integration**

If `BanAsync` is enabled in your game, it will automatically force-disconnect the banned client upon execution, ensuring immediate removal without requiring additional enforcement from Sentinel.
