Mingla is an Slack bot used at SVT for (semi-)spontaneous video chats. We are a group of people that misses the spontaneous chats at the coffee machine, hallways, after meetings... we got inspired by [bump-into-colleagues](https://github.com/Familjen-Sthlm/bump-into-colleagues) and articles like [this article about weak tie friendships](https://www.bbc.com/worklife/article/20200701-why-your-weak-tie-friendships-may-mean-more-than-you-think).

We have been using the bot since the middle of November 2020, and we have has several fun and interesting conversations.

## Flow

The bot is executed four times a day. The first run will write a message to to a Slack channel we have chosen to call `#mingla-med-kollegor`. It contains some generic information, like the time slots when the mingle-events will happens. Currently it's hard coded to 09:15, 12:00 and 14:50.

We also ping everybody that's currently online (active) in the channel. We uses three different reactions, `:coffee:`, `:sandwich:` and `:cake:` to select the events you like to be part of. In the screenshot I have selected the 12:00 and 09:15 events.

It looks like it was a lazy (or maybe busy) morning and I was the only one that was interested to chat at 9. At 09:15 when the bot did it's second execution for the day, it looked at the `:coffee:` reaction and noticed that where was to few people to create rooms, so nothing will happen.

Yesterday the morning mingle was much more active. We had six people showing up (had selected "coffee"). This created two different groups.

We pick a few silly names for the groups matching real places at the office. We also suggests a few topics to kickstart the conversation.

The final two (lunch and afternoon) events has the exact same flow.
