I have the bot working in Slack (woo hoo!)
I can Trigger the bot to fire by messaging it (awesome!)
I can add the bot to a channel, and by messaging the channel, it will also fire (gnarly!)
Three questions:
- In a group channel, does the bot differentiate between the users using it? Or does it take the input from the WHOLE channel?
- Is there a way to have it, in a group channel, publically respond to people, but keep multiple conversations going?
- Is there a way to have the bot in a public channel, but only fire if it is tagged in a message? (and not have everyone else interrupt the user)
The goal is to have a bot that can answer questions in a conversation, where everyone can benefit from the questions, and the answers.
Say in a live group coaching call, where someone asks a question, and the bot responds to the question with a follow up in order to document the question for the live coach.
