FEATURES

A comprehensive list of IOU chatbot commands.

   Create Users

This command saves a new user profile. Usernames MUST be one word only (no spaces) and should be shorter for your convenience. We recommend using initials!

         .new user

Log Transactions  

Value can be positive or negative (to add or remove owed amounts) and is split amongst either all users or the specified users. You can list as many specific usernames as you want. The last word determines if the transaction includes/excludes the creditor's share. For instance, if a creditor pays for a dinner bill which includes their portion, use "in." If a creditor pays for others' meals without eating any, use "ex."

.log value creditor all in

.log value creditor all ex

.log value creditor debtor1 debtor2 in

.log value creditor debtor1 debtor2 ex

Clear Tabs    

This clears tabs once IOUs have been paid. You have the option to clear everyone's tabs (use this wisely), or you can clear the tabs owed to or owed by a user. 

     .clear all

     .clear owedto user

     .clear owedby user

View IOUs   

With this command, you can view your running tabs - it will list all the amounts owed to you by others and all the amounts you owe to others.

      .owedto user

      .owedby user

View Users   

Allows you to view the list of user profiles.

           .users
