The bot is useful when you need to collect money in a group-chat: from colleagues, event participants, students at an online school, or friends. The bot will check payment information, remind non-paying participants to deposit money, and process the payment. And the public format will motivate you to pay faster.
How does it work?
Create a table with information about group members: first name, last name and payment information. This can be done automatically: a user registers before joining the group and the bot saves the information in a table.
At the scheduled time, the bot starts and checks the payment data in the table. If there are participants who have not paid, the bot sends a message to the group with their names, reminding them to pay. You can set the frequency of such reminders yourself.
Then a participant can go into dialogue with the bot in one click and pay the fee through the Stripe payment acceptance service. The bot makes the payment and updates the payment information in the table. Then he sends a message to the group about who paid. You will know who contributed money and how much.
How to set up the bot?
Create a project in the designer and add this template. 2 scripts and a table will appear in your project.
Script Payment collection in group_start – a script for registering participants to create a table.
Script Collect payment in a group – a script for sending messages and making payments.
The table is a database of group members with which the bot works.
