You interface with the bot through slash commands, buttons and drop-down menus, here are the commands that the bot currently has:
-
/my_alerts
: This command does not take any argument, it displays the alerts you currently have setup, whether it is completed or ongoing. This is also where you edit or delete an alert -
/search
: This is the main search command for you to find a section and setup an alert, it takes 3 required arguments:
term
: The term of the classes you are looking for. e.g. (Fall 2024 - College Station)subject
: The 4 letter code or major names that your class is in. e.g. (CSCE - Computer Sci & Engr)course_number
: The course number for the class you are looking for. e.g. (221 - DATA STRUC & ALGORITHMS)
/search_by_instructor
: This is another way to search for a section of a class, this time by instructor, it takes 2 required arguments:
term

/status
: This just pings the bot.
Once you searched for a class, an embed with all the sections will show up, you can use the button to toggle between full and available sections, the use the drop-down menu to select a spacific section, the embed should reflect your selection by listing only that section, then you can use the drop-down menu again to select the type of alert you would like to setup.
