Simply add @WhosInBot to your group chat and send a /start_roll_call to start recording who will be attending an event.

Members of the group chat can respond with /in, /out or /maybe. They can even provide a reason after the command. ie) /out injured.

Each time someone responds @WhosInBot will print the attendee list.
