Tutorial: Welcome Bot

In this tutorial, you'll build a Bot that counts the number of messages each user posts and assigns a special role after they post their 5th message. This is a much-simplified version of a common community-management Bot that could welcome new members, monitor their activity, give them more access as they participate, and so on.

Root concepts covered

• Persistence using key-value-store: Use the Root API's KeyValueStore to record the number of messages posted by each user.
• Role assignment: Assign roles programmatically.

Prerequisites

• High-beginner to low-intermediate level TypeScript knowledge including asynchronous coding.

Solution code

A fully implemented version of this project is available in the Root samples repository.
