Using /alias command you register a phrase that will trigger the bot to mention you in the current chat. At image below we register three aliases: Sean, Human and Tester:
Once you've added all required aliases you can view the list of all your aliases for the current chat with /list command:
Now every time the bot will see aliases in a chat message it will send mentions of users aliases were registered for. At image below the bot was triggered by Sean word which is alias we've registered before:
At any moment you can remove some alias with /remove command or all your aliases for the current chat with /clear command. At image below Human alias was removed so we cannot be called by it anymore:
