Hi Stephen, Last I checked a couple months ago, a robot can't remove any participants (including itself). The reason being that Google are still considering how this will work in practice. The only 'robot' that can remove other robots being Bouncy which is actually more than a standard robot and is using behind-the-scenes tie-ins with the server (that non-Google robots can't access) to allow it to remove other robots.
Still, new API coming out soon, they hope, I wonder if that might allow the removal of the robots by themselves? Back to proxying, I also tested this out and anything after the + in a proxy-for email address is ignored by Wave and treated like an email address without it. So, you can invite: [email protected] and [email protected] to a wave (either from your robot or manually) and they both refer to and work like the normal: [email protected] Any robot can then substring out the stuff after the + to pickup clues as to why they were added, for example. You can't proxy for a different user/robot though, like [email protected], it's just a method for filtering or providing multiple addresses for one email address, AFAIK. AFAIK, you also can't change or remove the creator of a wave after it's been made, so it will always be the robot in your case. Hope that helps clear things up a little anyway! And maybe things will change in the new API soon...who knows...we'll need to wait and see! :D On Feb 11, 12:38 am, Stephen Gigante <[email protected]> wrote: > I made a robot that will on a blip-based trigger, create a new wave, and > then remove itself from both the old and the new.
