16. How work
Chat bots reply with “structured messages” – images,
links, text, calls to action.
Examples:
Customer support: Ask questions, get answers
Make reservations
Make purchases (pop out to web browser e-commerce page)
19. 1) #Lovemelist
List of about 5 things student has done for the current
project that demonstrate their value to their value
Submit to their channel every 2 weeks
21. 2) Strewth Points
Student has 200 points per 2-week period.
Distribute points to anyone in the class to show
appreciation.
Person with most points at the end of the semester will
receive an award in recognition of their outstanding
teamwork!
26. Tips
1) Provide students option to not provide their personal
identifying information when signing up for Slack
2) Provide
A ‘how to use Slack guide’ & explain why class is using it
Specific ways you want them to use Slack
3) Post class announcements ONLY in the class Slack channel
3) Tell them: “Everyone in the class, including me, can see
everything posted in public channels. You can message users
privately and only you and the person you messaged can see it.

Chats respond with structured messages that include images, links and call to action buttons. These could let users make a restaurant reservation, review an e-commerce order and more. You can swipe through product carousels and pop out to the web to pay for a purchase.
Importantly, Facebook’s Messenger Platform currently doesn’t allow payments directly through a credit card added to Messenger.
Hey Taco is also great, a little better.
But strewth has a stricter privacy policy.
Open Agora has strict privacy settings.
Doesn’t share info with advertisers.
Why class is using it:
To foster team collaboration
To help prepare them for dispersed workforce of the future – working with project management and messaging software.
