User Interface
The Slackbot is called through slash commands which include an XTM project ID and an optional message. The bot queries XTM API to get information and posts it back into a Slack thread.
Slash command example:
/xtmbot 2244 The question to the project linguists
The bot responds with basic information about the XTM project, the initial question sent by a user, and invites people to join the thread using @mentions.
