How to create a chat by typing the contact's email address?

I think that in the above discussion one of my questions got overlooked: how is it possible to send a message to the xstore bot using a chatmail account? It seems there is no way to send a message to the bot at the moment.

I was unable to find any invite link for the xtore bot on the Delta Chat website.

In future it might be worth including the xstore bot as a “pre-approved” contact. But at the moment there is no obvious way to contact the bot.

The FAQ and related areas of the website might also need to be updated since they still advise sending a message to the xstore bot, which implies adding the contact manually.

It looks like maybe people are now asking a similar question in the German forums?

Is there a solution?
