Hey everyone! I think I've heard someone say here that they set-up slack bots to answer common questions with guru cards.
Anyone here has done this before, or has other best practices using Guru+Slack to share?
Thanks!
Do you have best practices around using Guru and Slack?

when someone asks a question that lives within guru, someone else will mark it with the . this sets off a slack workflow to remind the OP to check guru :slightlysmilingface:

Our BizTech team built a bot that you can type in a keyword or question and looks up info all across a bunch of different sources and if the answer is in Guru, will reply with a link to the applicable Guru card (it will also prompt you to file a ticket in our internal support system, if that's the right answer!) I don't know how they built it though.
It depends on the structure/purpose of the channel where the questions are being asked (is it used only for questions, are these questions being asked in a channel where discussion also takes place, etc.), what kinds of questions are being asked, if there is a person responding or if you're wanting the bot to search for keywords and auto-respond, etc. There are a few ways to approach a solution - if the solution you're after is to remind ppl to check Guru, the workflow Zev mentioned above is pretty lightweight!
