Un bot para emparejar usuarios aleatorios?

Hi all, I hope this is in the right forum!

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.

Here’s the bot from MS Teams:

I’ve done a search, specifically to see if I could edit Discobot to do this, but I couldn’t find anything. Has this been done before?

Thank you!

Doesn’t need to be a’bot’. You can simply create a Job within a plugin that runs some Ruby code to identify and email the respective users.

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.

I hope this helps!

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.

Yes automation would do it, a mingle script is on my list. I don’t have a specific date yet, but release should be in the next 2 months.

Awesome! I’ll take a look at that too when it launches :slight_smile:

Tiene un script de automatización de intercambio de regalos.

¡Interesante! Le echaré un vistazo… pero ¿el regalo significaría que coinciden en secreto? ¿O podría usarse para que coincidan de modo que ambos sepan del otro, incluso si no se intercambia ningún regalo?

Creo que pueden estar emparejados en secreto, pero debería ser razonablemente fácil ajustar o agregar una versión de mezcla aquí.
