Feature to start conversations with users without being messaged first #1314

A use case for a chat bot could be to message a user first based on some event being triggered. Example could be trivia questions would be sent out to a list of users who signed up for the trivia game.

As of right now the only way to do this I have found is through this: #89

Could there be a more elegant way to do this?
