    Hi, you can send a slash command
    /botimum
    to get started. The command will show all your standups where you can edit them

    But now it has stopped updating and I am getting
    Copy code
    Oops, @Botimum cannot send a poll message to the channel #announcements (ID=C07983EV5HP) (last update: Jul 31, 2024, 9:39 PM). Could you please invite @Botimum to the channel #announcements (ID=C07983EV5HP) and try again?

    Hi @Rika Kobayashi , it's possible that someone removed the bot from the selected channel. Could you check if @Botimum is still a member of your
    #announcements
    channel?

    No, I re-invited it and it says it is already in. In fact I set up a second poll without the add choice option and it is working, Trouble is the people who see the first poll which I don't dare remove are getting a bit annoyed that it is not updating. I am wondering whether it is some sort of character limit because if I do the same poll without the Add choice option it seems to work.

    Bot messages in Slack have a limit, but the message in your message isn't too large. I will forward it to my tech team and hopefully we will figure it out

    While I am here is there a way to stop a poll if you haven't set a finish time?

    Hi @Rika Kobayashi yes, as an admin, you can run /botimum command, and select the poll you want to close -> hit “Close” button to stop it

    Was that meant to be
    /botimum dashboard
    ? /botimum just creates poll. And it doesn't seem to work. It still looks the same despite saying "Poll closed. Reopen?" Must it be deleted?

    Yes, it’s
    /botimum dashboard
    . After closing, did you see the poll options were hidden from the poll message?

    If it doesn’t work, properly something goes wrong with the message size limit, it would be better to delete instead.

    No. and Add Choice still active (but not working)

    It looks like the bot couldn’t update the message anymore, probably because of the message size limit. Would you try to delete the poll?

    Our tech team will investigate the issue soon

    What is the message size limit? And what is weird is when it hit it, not only did it not add choices but it stopped voting. It would be good if it froze adding choices before reaching limit and allow voting to continue with what is there, It looks like another feature request would have to be restrict number of choices that can be added.

    Slack allows upto 40k characters which is still quite large in compare to your message. It would also be something else that our tech team needs to investigate. I will get back to you as soon as I got a feedback from the team.

    Also, regarding the above it doesn't look like I can delete the Botimum messages. Is there a way to do that? I am a workspace owner and can delete Slackbot messages but the Delete Message option doesn't come up for Botimum

    You can use the “Delete” button from the admin panel as you can see here

    So I can't delete the messages without deleting the poll?

    Unfortunately, there's a lot of activity in the thread so I don't want to delete the poll until the other poll is over (7 hrs time)

    So I deleted the Poll but it is still there (and the messages are still there) and active but now gives a Poll is 'invalid' message when voted on.

    Extra information I forgot to mention was that the channel was "general" which is the only channel you can set only Admins to write to. I added Botimum as a "writer" but that was after the poll had started.

    Multiple timezones Hey there, we're a remote team operating across Dublin, Toronto, Dubai and Auckland, keen to schedule an async stand up with the team, but using their local timezones. The app asks me to set a timezone, so just wondering if this is possible?

    Hi @Ciarán Bodenham, it’s used as a main/fallback timezone. It sends personal messages/stand-up prompts in personal timezone

    Hi there, I have a weekly reoccurring poll. How can I make changes on this reoccurring poll? Like i.e. adjust the closing time?

    Hi @Sven, did you try with /botimum command? From there, you can see all your polls and manage them from there

    Hey team, is there a configuration that we can forbid checkin/ with botimum in message? And enforce everyone has to click the button?
