Please review the following user guides for the two tools that make up Paxminer:

Slack bot

Before you begin using the Paxminer Slack bot, you need a Slack account.

1. Go to the channel where you want to record an event. Common channels include:
   • #1stf for all workouts, both at AOs or on-your-own.
   • #2ndf for social activities.
   • #3rdf for service activities.
2. Type /backblast in the message, and then click the Send button.
3. Fill out the Backblast form. The form has several fields that are prepopulated to help you.
   • Enter a title for your workout.
   • Select the AO by channel. #1stf events have channels for each AO in the format #ao-day-name, like #ao-tue-claymore.
   • Enter the workout date.
   • Select the Q, Co-Q (if applicable), and Pax who posted. You can search them by name. They must be in Slack to appear in this list.
   • Add any additional Pax, such as ones who are not signed up in Slack. For multiple Pax, separate the names with a comma (,).
   • Add any FNGs. For multiple FNGs, separate the names with a comma (,).
   • The total count should be calculated automatically.
   • Provide a summary of the event.
   • Choose where to post your Backblast (it should be posted in the main #1stf, #2ndf, or #3rdf channel)
4. Click Submit. You only have to do this once, even if it seems like it didn’t work. Sometimes it takes a minute to process.
