Making a GroupMe Bot that to mention all users

October 19, 2024

A few years back, a big part of my church's community chose GroupMe to be our defacto messaging app for all things church related. In hindsight that was a horrible idea given the lack of functionality in GroupMe, but we got to a point where we stuck with it.

There was one feature that was missing that especially bugged me: @Everyone. It was very frustrating, having to mention all the users of a group manually?? Why!!

So I decided to go down the path of GroupMe Bots

Requirements

As a user of a GroupMe (let's assume an admin), I should be able to @all in the chat. Super simple, right? Nope.

GroupMe's ecosystem for Bot creation isn't exactly the most straight forward
