Some users need a refresher on Discourse features.

[image] Tyson: Is there any way for the admin to trigger it for the user? This might help: [image] Discourse Narrative Bot Beta Feedback megaphoneAnnouncements Here’s another idea for triggering the bot via PM. Set up a url for starting the message that starts the new user track. Then all they need to do is click the link and submit the message. Meta Example https://meta.discourse.org/new-message?username=discobot&title=Let's%20have%20a%20bot%20chat&body=@discobot%20start%20new%20user

Yes, users should be able to replay the discobot introduction whenever they want, even if they have the badge. There are no limits!

Is the only way to do that by having the user run @discobot start new user? Is there any way for the admin to trigger it for the user?

[image] Tyson: Is there any way for the admin to trigger it for the user? No, not that I know of. My question is why can’t your users trigger it themselves, it clearly explains itself and what it does whenever a new user joins. [image] Tyson: Is the only way to do that by having the user run @discobot start new user? Yes, if they haven’t completed the tutorial they can just do @discobot startover or reply to it.

Nothing wrong with having the user trigger it themselves. Just wondered what my options were. I have some users who aren’t very tech savvy so the less I require them to do the better :slight_smile:

I understand, a couple years ago I wasn’t really tech savvy either, I just went with the flow :wink: The more you learn the better!

Can users "replay" the Discobot introduction if needed?
