Seems to happen randomly.

If a Rocket Chat user initiate a direct message to the robot, is there a way for the robot to receive the message in the direct conversation and send reply back?

Thanks,
Austin

I am trying to implement add_dm_handler. However its not working. Here's my code sample

import os
from RocketChatBot import RocketChatBot
botname = os.environ['BOTNAME']
botpassword = os.environ['BOTPASSWORD']
server_url = os.environ['BOT_URL']
bot = RocketChatBot(botname, botpassword, server_url)

def greet(msg, user, channel_id):
bot.send_message('hello @' + user, channel_id)

try:
while True:
bot.add_dm_handler(['hey', 'hello', ], greet)
bot.add_auto_answer(['test'],['testbot'])
except KeyboardInterrupt:
print('interrupted!')
bot.send_message('Exit', channel_id='test-channel')

When I try to send message to my bot, it doesn't respond.

Is there a way to get the information regarding the one who is speaking to the robot?

For example, Bob speak in the general channel:

Bob:  @robot please what's the weather today?

can robot know it's Bob who is asking him, and Bob is with the role "user"?
I am asking because, sometimes, the robot is with many features, and may need to do role based permission control.

BR,Austin

I noticed the robot is pulling messages every second, while there is a webhook interface from RocketChat, shall we use webhook for better performance? What do you think the pros/cons between pulling and webhook?

Thanks,
Austin

Is anyone else getting this error if the bot is left with no messages for a minute or so?

I dont think I had this issue in the past so i very well could be something on my end.

RocketChat recently changed their API (at least it seems so, by looking at the suddenly occuring error messages) and the bot is not working anymore:

Are there any plans to update this package? I am not sure I'll find time to jump in with a PR 😕
