Hello! Iβm @splitsheetbot, here to help you split bills with friends.
I use something called a Splitsheetβa dynamic message that keeps track of all expenses and debts. Below, youβll find your first Splitsheet.
Hereβs how to get started:
1. Join the Splitsheet by clicking the π₯β button (or reply with add @βusername)
2. Reply to the Splitsheet with a description of your expense
3. Pin the Splitsheet for quick access
Examples of messages:
- groceries 50 (sender paid, and the cost is split evenly among all members)
- bought coffee for Emma 15 (sender paid, and only Emma owes)
- John bought concert tickets for me and Sarah, 40 each (John spent 80, and both Sarah and you owe)
How to edit expenses:
- Edit your own message
- Reply to your message with the changes
- Reply to your message requesting deletion
Adding expenses is free. One payment shows who owes whom, for the whole group, forever.
When you're ready to start a new Splitsheet, use the /newsplit command. You can mention members to add them immediately: /newsplit @βalice @βbob
If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to contact @splitsheet_help_bot
