Editing SocialMediaTool

The Social Media Tool (aka SMT) is a tool for enabling non-[[SocialMediaWG]] members to contribute to Noisebridge's social media presence by creating and sharing content, replying to messages, and other common functions.

Lots of great stuff happens at Noisebridge that ought to be shared with the world, but the [[SocialMediaWG]] team can't handle all of that, and Noisebridge is a do-ocracy, so the solution is simple: let people Do-ocratically run our social media!

== How to use the SMT ==

Currently there is only a Slack interface, but in the future we'll hopefully have more ways of doing this.

=== Using the Slack interface ===

SMT integrates with Slack via a collection of slash commands, all of which are prefixed with <code>smt</code>. So for example, to make a new post, you would type <code>/smt-make</code>. Each command also has some arguments that you'll need to provide, which are documented in the popup info that Slack displays. They are as follows:

{| class="wikitable"
! Action
! Arguments
! Format

|-
| Make a post (without attachments)
| service, content
| <code>/smt-make [service]: [content]</code>

|-

| <code>/smt-make-attachments [service]: [attachment], ...; [content]</code>

|-
