I run a number of community book club forums, and one feature we were thinking of starting was a bot that could connect two random users. The idea came from a bot I came across on an MS Teams meetup site, and I think it would increase conversation about the books.
Basically just a bot to send two users a message saying “Hi George, we’d like to introduce you to Bob, send a PM here” and vice versa.
Welcome @dinoscool3! I think you’ve come to the right place. I’m not quite sure if this will help, but check out Mingle - An Introductions Plugin. I’m not really familiar with it, but I think it’s at least close to what you’re looking for, perhaps if only to give you ideas to solve your actual goal.
Thanks to you both! I just had bot on the mind because that’s how I’ve seen it used previously. Just searching for a plugin makes a lot more sense. Mingle looks like its exactly what I’m looking for. Thank you!
discourse-automation can do this. We use it for our Secret Santa matching. I’m not sure when we’re releasing it yet though. @j.jaffeux will have more info.
Interessant! Ich werde es mir ansehen… aber würde das Geschenk bedeuten, dass sie heimlich zusammengebracht werden? Oder könnte es verwendet werden, um sie zusammenzubringen, damit sie sich beide kennen, auch wenn kein Geschenk ausgetauscht wird.
Ich glaube, sie könnten heimlich abgestimmt werden, aber es sollte relativ einfach sein, hier eine Version mit gemischten Paaren anzupassen oder hinzuzufügen.
