HelpDesk Bot

The helpdesk bot helps us quickly route visitors’ questions at WordCamp to volunteers.

WP Vienna HelpDesk Bot


How it works:

  1. Open the bot in Telegram
  2. Register once with
  3. /auth PASSWORD
  4. Then send your name so others know who is taking the request.

When someone asks for help at the helpdesk, you’ll get a message with two buttons:

  • I’m coming → You’ll go over and help
  • Can’t help → You’re unavailable right now

As soon as someone clicks I’m coming, all volunteers can see who is taking the request.
The person stays at the helpdesk table, so please go there :slightly_smiling_face:

If everyone declines, or if nobody accepts within 2 minutes, a second round starts automatically and the request is sent to all volunteers again.
