Franchise updates – more reliable payments

We’ve updated SmartBots Franchise program today to get rid of the most important issues.

The payment terminal and franchise scheme were updated to help franchisees receiving all commission. The problem was like following: customers creating accounts in franchise office, but then paying in main SmartBots office. Franchisees were loosing their commission this way…

Updates

Franchise owners asked to cover this situation, and we’ve did the following changes:

  1. The franchise commission is being stored in the database now. Earnings and can be received using your SmartBots account.
  2. Every new customer touching your payment terminal automatically get assigned to you.
  3. You receive your commission regardless of the terminal your customers use.

You won’t loose your commission anymore. The additional advantage is that you get the detailed payment statistics of your franchise at SmartBots website.

Get Involved!

To join SmartBots Franchise for free, get the free package at SL Marketplace.

Free package includes 5% commission and does not require any special setup (just rez boards and terminals). If you feel you deserve more commission, visit official Franchise page and contact SmartBots franchise manager.

Wishlist – share your desires!

If you have any wishes or ideas, feel free to publish them in a new “Wish List” section of the SmartBots account.

You can post your own wish, or vote for existing idea to publish it faster. This function allows you to get the desired Second Life bots functionality faster: just give us an idea, and we’ll do it for you as soon as possible.

When idea got completed and published, the creator and all customers voted for it get the IM notification: you’ll know when your thoughts get realized!

New SmartBots device, and new plugin are available

We’ve released a new device and new plugin script today! Both devices were created on customers’ requests:

1. SmartBots Anti-Spam device

This is automatic device which monitors your Second Life group for spammers and beggars, and eject them from the group (with or without giving a warning).

Antispam device is very easy to configure (it supports words, phrases and wildcards) and lightweight (1 prim only).

It’s available at SL Marketplace already – click here.

2. Group Inviter plugin for IntelliAD

This is a plugin for famous adboard rental system developed by Intelli. We’ve created the group inviter plugin which invites your tenants to the group (any role, closed enrollment allowed) and ejects them when they got evicted.

Plugin is configurable using the config notecard and also available at SL Marketplace.

P.S. I really appreciate the help of our customers who helped developing and testing these products! Thank you very much!

News and upcoming updates

This blog entry consists of two parts: the notification about new functionality (related to group moderators and SSTI) and announcement of the bot scripting language.

Update: Group Moderators for SSTI

Group Moderators are now able to manage the SmartShare Tenant Inviter (SSTI) web interface. (Those who don’t know about SSTI please visit SL Marketplace page of this product).

Assigning SSTI group moderators is easy: login to SmartBots account and click “Group Moderators” at the left menu. You can add a new moderator to manage your SSTI web interface, or give this ability to the existing moderator.

Announcing Smart Bot Scripting Language (SBSL)

People who use SmartBots personal bots love gaining more and more control over their bot’s behavior. We’ve received three interesting requests during the last week (one came from the roleplay sim owner, and two related to the group chat and modelling bots). After discussing these requests we decided to start developing the bot scripting language – codename SBSL.

The bot’s script will instruct your bot how to react on various events (group and local chat messages, people coming by, inventory offers etc).

The language functionality will be announced later, however, it already contains the following commands:

  • local chat and group chat talking
  • group notices processing
  • inventory delivery
  • custom http queries to bot owner’s server

If you would like to request anything else to be added, please contact us. We are glad to hear all your wishes!
