How to send DM to users from the bot

[sourabhsriom]

I am implementing a remind feature through the chat bot. Till now I am able to use listen_to and respond_to to set up reminders for myself using the scheduler.

What I want to do is something like : remind @xyz "check in your code" at October 19 6 pm.

I haven't found any documentation on how to automate sending of DMs to other users.

What version of Mattermost are you running?

If it is newer consider trying mmpy_bot we started with this bot and updated to support API4 and a few other fixes and enhancements. As far as I know this project is EOLed.
