Unofficial GroupMe @all
@all is a third-party GroupMe chat bot built on Hubot. It was configured to be deployed on Heroku to get you up and running as quick as possible.
This project is not sponsored by, endorsed by, or managed by GroupMe. This is entirely a third-party project and is 100% open sourced. Use at your own risk.
For questions or concerns, please contact the repository owner, not GroupMe.
Features
Mention (tag) everyone in your group at once!
Blacklist users who don't need notifications.
Deploy to heroku easily!
Using
In practice, users can simply write @all anywhere in their message to tag everyone in the group. The bot will repeat their message and tag everyone in the group in their repeated message.
You can also control a blacklist/whitelist via chat commands as well. This is a bit more advanced, so please review the source code yourself if you're interested to do this.
