I’m trying to fix things up with Discobot, so I created a new test user for my community and have now edited the Welcome message to my liking. I’d like to test it again –– is there a way to do that without creating another test user? I saw references to saying “startover” or “start new user” to Dis…

Discobot is disabled here on Meta. The commands to restart the tutorial won’t help you for testing the welcome message again. That message is only sent once. The command you found is about restarting the tutorial, but that starts with the message about bookmarking, not the welcome message. I am no…

Somehow, after finishing the tutorial, running @discobot start tutorial did it again. It sends a PM to you after you post that.

Is that the starting message of the tutorial, or the welcome message that is sent to you?

[이미지] Moin: Discobot is disabled here on Meta. ah good to know! [이미지] Moin: The commands to restart the tutorial won’t help you for testing the welcome message again. That message is only sent once. good to know too :cry: [이미지] Moin: I am not sure how you currently create a test …

After editing the first post (“Thanks for joining XYZ, and welcome!”) and running @discobot start tutorial, I could see the updated version. [이미지] stephtara: are there alternate non-AI chatbots to Discobot that we can use? One that comes to mind is Discourse Frotz 🧙 .

[이미지] NateDhaliwal: After editing the first post (“Thanks for joining XYZ, and welcome!”) and running @discobot start tutorial, I could see the updated version. I am not sure we’re talking about the same message. I agree that this one is resent when you restart the tutorial (and you don’t hav…

[이미지] stephtara: Bonus question: are there alternate non-AI chatbots to Discobot that we can use? Maybe Custom Wizard Plugin 🧙 is more what you want. Discobot can only react to the triggers set in the code. It cannot really make the user do anything else. So while you can change which links a…

[이미지] Moin: I suggested sending welcome messages using the automation plugin before , so I am not mentioning that again. You did, and thanks :hugs: for that, because it had slipped through the cracks in my brain. Definitely seems more like what I need.

[이미지] Moin: But if you configure Discobot to send a welcome message instead of the tutorial (Discourse Narrative Bot welcome post type setting configured to “Send all new users a welcome message with a quick start guide”) then a different message is sent [이미지] Moin: And that one is not se…

[이미지] stephtara: I just created a “normal” new user with an alternate e-mail address and logged in from another browser. Is there such thing as a “test user” in the system? There’s no special “test user” functionality in the system – that just refers to an account you test with, as you’re doi…

네, 맞습니다. 덕분에 기억이 나네요. 제 머릿속에서 어떻게 잊어버렸는지 모르겠습니다. 확실히 제가 필요한 방식에 더 가까워 보입니다.
