Messages Intent: Allow bots to view message content of messages that mention them (or reply to them) #3534
-
It would be helpful to allow bots to have access to messages that mention them, because they can provide a bit of a middle-ground between message commands and slash commands. They don't bring the security concerns of message commands because a user has to explicitly mention the bot, and they still allow more control over commands than is available with slash commands. Other than that, I imagine developers could use messages like this to build something other than commands, without needing to view every single message. With something like this, a bot can only view messages that are directed at it, essentially eliminating the security concerns with allowing bots to read all messages. |
