Chat bots
Search JOGL Network from Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, or Slack.
You don't have to open the app to run a search. Once a bot is linked to your account, you can ask JOGL Network for experts directly from the messaging tools you already use.
Linking your account
Go to Settings → Integrations (Linked Accounts). For Telegram, WhatsApp, and Discord there is a Quick Link button that opens the bot for you. Alternatively, start a conversation with the bot: it replies with a 6-character code that you type into Link New Account in the same settings section. You can Unlink an account at any time.
Until your account is linked, the bots answer with a prompt to link first, and searches then run as you. Slack is the exception on scope: a Slack search covers the community the workspace was connected to, whether or not your JOGL account is a member of it. The other bots search the communities you belong to.
What you can do
| Platform | How to search |
|---|---|
| Telegram | Message the bot directly, or add it to a group and @mention it with your query. |
Message the bot; reply LINK to get a linking code. | |
| Discord | /jogl search query:<your query> in a server where your community installed the bot; /jogl link, /jogl unlink, /jogl help also work. |
| Slack | In a workspace where your community admin installed the app, @mention JOGL Network in a channel or DM the bot with your query. |
Discord and Slack are installed per community by an admin (see Integrations); Telegram and WhatsApp are linked by you alone.
Microsoft Teams can be connected by a community admin, but search from Teams does not currently work: queries sent from Teams get an error instead of results. Use one of the platforms above.
