Put several bots in a group chat

Method

1. 01

   Start a group of two to six bots

   Choose New in the sidebar, then select the bots in New chat. On iPhone or Android, use +, then New Group Chat. Edit the generated name if you want a clearer one.

2. 02

   Name the shared outcome

   Say what the group is producing and which bot owns the next step. One owner at a time keeps the thread from doing the same job twice.

3. 03

   Mention a bot with @ when one of them should answer

   Type @ and select the bot. Write a normal message when any of them may respond. Use @everyone rarely, for a note the whole group needs.

4. 04

   Review the thread

   Handoffs stay visible in the group. Approval requests, secret and login requests, and email or Slack drafts do not appear there. Those stay in a one-to-one chat. A bot that must show another bot an image should send that image directly. Group handoffs are text.
