 The bot listens for commands:
 - `/op <url or paste>` — parse an opportunity
 - `/ev <url or paste>` — parse an event
+- If you send a URL directly in chat, the bot will ask whether to process it as an event or an opportunity using buttons.
 
 If you paste text (instead of sending a URL), the bot will parse it and when you click Save it will prompt you for a source URL (or you can `/skip`).
