Has anyone tried adding discobot functionality into system?

Has anyone tried combining @discobot functionality into @system?

Could you explain why this would be beneficial?

I’m not sure this is a support question at all. More a question of of ‘if I mix x with y will it explode’?

You are right. I’m wondering because users don’t use Discobot, but system is already a great way to post content and maintain a sort of sudo profile that doesn’t have to be a specific individual.

It makes sense that users would have familiarity with system as a bot to ask questions. Ehh, cheers.

Part of the benefit of Discobot is that it can be customized, the name, avatar and responses can all be changed.

I think it might create confusion to have an interactive bot that can respond to very specific topics, but at the same time is sending every communiquĂ©. There won’t be any obvious delineation between which topics Discobot can or can’t respond to.

Thanks for the thoughts. I have customized the bot a lot already so I decided the simplest fix is:

  • Change the name to helpbot
  • Create a help group that anyone can join/leave to track questions.
  • Mention @helpbot within the group page, pinned welcome post, and elsewhere.
