Anonymous Message Command (/anonymousMessage)
Needs Explicit Command Trigger
This command has to be invoked as a slash command only and Hana does not support auto detection of this tool.
What it does
With /anonymousMessage, Hana posts your message anonymously in the current space. The posted text appears as sent by "Some User."
Usage Tracking
This command posts your text directly and does not run normal AI response generation.
How to invoke
- Initiate the Command: In your Google Chat, type /anonymousMessage to start composing an anonymous message. This command allows you to send messages within the group without revealing your identity.
- Compose Your Message: Write the content of your message that you wish to send anonymously. Ensure that your message is clear and concise, as it will be delivered without any attribution to you.
Example:
considerextend
/anonymousMessage I think we should consider extending the deadline for our current project to ensure quality.
- Send Your Message: Once you have composed your message, it will be posted to the group anonymously.
Invocation examples
/anonymousMessage I am blocked on access to staging and need help before EOD.
/anonymousMessage Can we schedule a retrospective about release quality next week?
