Im trying to make my bot send automated messages to coworkers without it receiving a prompt first. Im aiming for a sort of automated reminder system. Is this possible with botpress?? If so how would one approach this. Thanks!

Where would it send these messages? Email?

No it would be on Slack

You can read about starting conversation proactively on Slack here https://botpress.com/docs/cloud/channels/slack/#starting-a-conversation-proactively

Okay perfect thanks!! although im not still not quite sure about the Slack ID. Is it asking me for a specfic number or the name of the person on slack? It just keep showing me an error message when trying to use this card and I cant figure out why

1 Click on a user name within Slack. 2 Click on "View full profile" in the menu that appears. 3 Click the ellipses (three dots). 4 Click on "Copy Member ID".

You legend thanks!! Do you by any change have an example of this card being used in a workflow though? Because even with the correct slack Id it keeps giving me the error message when runnning the node and I wanna see what im doing wrong here

I have never used the Slack integration before. Which error is it giving you?

yeah it just says error ocurred. Maybe there is somehting else I should be addding to the node aside from the "Start DM" card?

Can you open the logs and see what the error message is

Can it be something with the personality agent thats causing this?

I don't think so
