      If that is true, I haven’t noticed anything yet.

  What do you mean with bots in this context?

    I have seen telegram and Whatsapp bots that vänt control various selfhosted apps or just report from them. I just wondered if that was a thing on xmpp too.

      The reverse, i.e. getting outage notifications and so on via xmpp is quite common.

      I can’t really think of any usecase to control self-hosted apps from a messenger, but sure, technically you could write such a bot quite easily.

        Ah okay, notifications would be nice.

        I was thinking about n8n integrations for example
