Overview
The Hanna Bot node allows interaction with the Hanna IRC Bot through its REST API. It supports a variety of IRC-related operations such as sending messages or notices, joining or leaving channels, changing the bot's nickname, retrieving user or channel information, and more. This node is useful for automating IRC bot management and communication tasks within n8n workflows.
For example, you can use this node to:
- Change the bot’s nickname dynamically during a workflow.
- Send messages or notices to specific IRC channels or users.
- Retrieve detailed information about users or channels for monitoring or logging purposes.

| Name | Meaning |

Note: The "New Nickname" property is required when using the "Change Nick" operation.
