One of the cool features of Slack is Slackbot, which is a bot that responds to certain commands.

Slackbot can also be configured to provide customisable automatic responses when chosen activation phrases are used.

Similarly, Slackbot can be configured to post the Wi-Fi password when someone types the word wifi.

Tip: Activation phrases are not case sensitive, so you dont have to worry about that.

Special characters such as question marks are, however, important if included in the activation phrase.
