Can you post a screenshot of your service / the form?

That looks fine to me. I'm not too sure why that's not working for you.

You can try the following:

• Delete that service and create a new one.
• If that doesn't work - try to reinstall the Botler add-on. There may have been an issue during the installation. Make sure it's installed to a room and not global.

So you have to use the "/" in order for it to work? I thought it was like every time some used to word in the command (without the /) the bot would pick it up...I don't think this will work for what I wanted. I'll just delete it. Thanks

If you remove the "/" in the Message Pattern field then it should do what you want. 

[Iycsis Copeland]

ok well how do you use more than one word? 

[Khanh Nguyen]

You can use the "|" character for multiple terms: 

For example: hi|hello|yo|hey

Will pick up on the following messages:

• hi there
• hey there
• yo how's it going
• hello world

Botler uses regular expressions - I like to use this tool to check my regex: http://regexr.com/

ok so doesn't pick up sentences then.

[Khanh Nguyen]

You should be able to do something like this: 

Hello world|hi there

[Iycsis Copeland]

ok great. Thank you. 

[Iycsis Copeland]

ok will it work for something like this: "@all Clocking in" ?
