Gender Inclusive Language

This workflow is ideal for teams and organizations using Mattermost for communication. It specifically benefits:

• Inclusivity Advocates: Individuals or groups focused on promoting gender-inclusive language in workplace communications.
• Team Leaders and Managers: Those responsible for fostering an inclusive environment and ensuring respectful communication among team members.
• Developers and Integrators: Technical teams looking to automate responses in Mattermost based on specific triggers related to language use.

This workflow addresses the issue of non-inclusive language in team communications by automatically suggesting gender-neutral alternatives when certain terms are used. It helps to:

• Promote Inclusivity: Encourage the use of language that respects all gender identities.
• Reduce Miscommunication: Minimize misunderstandings and foster a more welcoming environment for all team members.

1. Webhook Trigger: The workflow starts when a POST request is received via a webhook. This captures messages sent in Mattermost.
2. Conditional Check: The workflow checks if the incoming message contains any non-inclusive terms such as "guys", "bros", "dudes", etc.
3. Response Action: If any of these terms are detected, the workflow sends a message back to the Mattermost channel suggesting more inclusive language options like "folks" or "y'all".
4. No Operation: If no non-inclusive terms are found, the workflow does nothing, effectively maintaining the status quo.
