# The badging-bot ## Command & Functionality We integrate a GitHub app, the `@badging-bot,` to help us coordinate the workflow. The main function of the badging-bot is improving the efficiency of the reviewing process with some automated integration. **Some more functions of the badging-bot include:** * Guiding applicants/reviewers * Assigning reviewers for a submission * Opening checklists for reviewers according to the type of event * Checking current badge status * Generating the final badge link * Closing an application issue when an application is finalized ### Instances when the bot is triggered Here is a mock submission illustrating the review process: This is what happened where the`@badging-bot` is triggered: * **A new submission is created.** Once the issue of a new submission is successfully initiated, `@badging-bot` will do three things: * greet the applicant and provide guiding information ([see example](https://github.com/badging/event-diversity-and-inclusion/issues/46#issuecomment-674938374)) * assign reviewers according to `reviewers.md` * open a checklist for each assigned reviewer ([see example](https://github.com/badging/event-diversity-and-inclusion/issues/46#issuecomment-674938396)) * **A command is typed in a review issue comment.** When someone creates an issue comment with a command, the bot will be triggered and respond in a new comment. ### Commands You can also interact with `@badging-bot`using a few commands. #### 1. /result (Anyone) * Type this command and only this command in an issue anytime during the review when you wish to check the current badge status. * All roles are allowed to use this command. ``` /result #show the current badge status ``` #### 2. /end (Moderators) * Type this command and only this command in an issue when the review is at an end. * Only moderators are allowed to use this command. ``` /end #obtain the final badge and close the issue ``` --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
