Hi Austin,

The events shown in the example are just for demonstration purposes. If you want them to invoke certain action, you would need to create your own logic for the same.

Alternatively, you can consider referring to this example on our [GitHub](https://github.com/zoom/zoom-bot-demo) or see our newly updated docs on [How to Build a sample Chatbot](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/guides/building-a-chatbot/zoombotsdk-chatbot)
