Count Bot is a GroupMe bot designed to keep track of the message count in a group and respond to user's count requests.
Count Bot is quite versatile in the requests he can handle. He can return a total group message count or filter his count by any combination of username, dates, or specific message content. Count bot requests must begin with a '#' and may be followed by an optional series of parameters separated by '.'s. The basic format of a request is:
#.{userName}.{startDate}.{endDate}.{textQuery}
Below are examples of all the requests he will respond to.
All messages:
#
Returns:
XXXX messages.
All messages from a single user:
#.User1
Returns:
User1 has posted XXXX messages.
All messages broken down by user (Note that "ALL" is a special case username that will return a message count for every user that has posted messages fitting the other parameters in descending order.):
#.ALL
Returns:
User1 has posted XXXX messages.
User2 has posted XXXX messages.
User3 has posted XXXX messages.
...
UserN has posted XXXX messages.
All messages since a certain date (For now acceptable date formats are YYYYMMDD or YYYYMMDD'T'HHMMSS. This is being worked on to be more natural in a future release.):
#..20170810 //Date equals 00:00AM on August 10th, 2017
Returns:
XXXX messages since 20170800.
#..20170810T083000 //Date equals 8:30AM on August 10th, 2017
Returns:
XXXX messages since 20170800T083000.
All messages up to a certain date:
#...20170904 //Date equals 00:00AM on September 4th, 2017
Returns:
XXXX messages before 20170800.
#...20170904T214523 //Date equals 9:45:23PM on September 4th, 2017
Returns:
XXXX messages before 20170800T083000.
All messages between two dates:
#..20170810T083000.20170904
Returns:
XXXX messages between 20170810T083000 and 20170904.
All messages containing a specific text string:
#....ππͺ
Returns:
XXXX messages containing "ππͺ".
These parameters can be combined to perform more complex queries such as:
All messages from a single user since a certain date containing a specific text string:
#.User1.20170810..ππͺ
Returns:
User1 has posted XXXX messages containing "ππͺ" since 20170810.
Additionally you can supply username "ALL" on any query to get a list broken down by user:
#.ALL.20170810.20170910.ππͺ
Returns:
User1 has posted XXXX messages containing "ππͺ" between 20170810 and 20170910.
User2 has posted XXXX messages containing "ππͺ" between 20170810 and 20170910.
User3 has posted XXXX messages containing "ππͺ" between 20170810 and 20170910.
...
UserN has posted XXXX messages containing "ππͺ" between 20170810 and 20170910.
If there are no messages matching the given parameters Count Bot will respond with:
Count Bot counts 0 messages matching those criteria.
