Lists

Lists are curated collections of users. They are a way to limit who Eeny will pick from. For example, you might create a ‘Frontend Team’ list for code reviews or a ‘Coffee Duty’ list for office responsibilities.

Commands

In the following examples the list is called “Awesome People”.

List: @Eeny lists - show all lists
Create: @Eeny create Awesome People
Pick: @Eeny pick Awesome People
Show: @Eeny show Awesome People - displays all users on the list
Delete: @Eeny delete Awesome People - this requires confirmation

Create

List names can include letters, numbers and hyphens (-). Spaces are also allowed.

Warning: Lists are accessible from any channel in your workspace where Eeny is present, not just where they were created. They are not private, even when created in a private channel.

Empty: @Eeny create Awesome People
With users: @Eeny create Awesome People with @You and @NotYou

Empty
With Users

Manage

Managing users can be done via “Manage users” modal accessible after creating or viewing a list, or via the add and remove messages.

Remember: Deleting a list does not delete any reminders that use it. You’ll need to remove or update those yourself. If the reminders do get called, Eeny will just tell you that the list can’t be found.
