This plugin pairs random users from a channel with each other. They get asked to go to lunch together. The idea is for a team to get to know each other better, not just to stick to your people day in and day out.
John: /lunchbot topics add Geocaching
John: /lunchbot topics add playing guitar
Mike: /lunchbot blacklist add George
Mike: /lunchbot topics add Basketball
Mike: /lunchbot
Group chat to Mike and John:
LunchBot: Hey! I think both of you should meet for lunch soon!
LunchBot: You could talk about Geocaching or Basketball.
LunchBot: You can finish this pairing by entering `/lunchbot finish`. Have fun!
<two hours later>
John: /lunchbot finish
Group chat to Mike and John:
LunchBot: Your session has been finished! Thanks a lot for using Lunchbot
In COVID times it's hard to get to know your colleagues by casually chatting by the watercooler. This bot enables these type of random interactions between everyone.
- Everyone can trigger to get paired up by using
/lunchbot - Let users set topics they'd like to talk about using
/lunchbot topics add <topic> - Let users blacklist certain users they don't want to get paired with using
/lunchbot blacklist add <username>
This plugin is based on the mattermost-plugin-starter-template. See there on how to set everything up and test the plugin.
