What’s usually very helpful is to create a gif of how the bot works. You can use the free Kap app to record a gif: https://getkap.co/

E.g. see my WIP bot for an example: https://github.com/apps/wip

Tried it at https://github.com/gr2m/sandbox/issues/31, no luck. Do you a repository where I can see it working?

[jainkeval]

@gr2m there is nothing to compare where you are trying.

Yeah, you may fork this repo https://github.com/jainkeval/trial-one. Push your changes to fork and then comment.

@vaibhavchellani do you have any feedback for @jainkeval? Maybe you two want to collaborate to make it better?

I don’t have a use for that bot myself so I can’t give much more feedback I’m afraid.
