    The short answer is

    bot.send_message('My channel', notice.text)

    To find it you could type dir(notice) to see the element’s attributes. And of course you can check the Selenium API documentation for the Element object.

    Also, given that Element represents a web page object and it probably uses the same naming of javascript, you could open the dev console on Chrome (ctrl-shift-J) and type this:

    // load Google Home first
a = document.getElementsByClassName('gb_g')[0]
a.text
> Gmail

    As you probably know, the console is useful to be sure that the text you’re looking for is actually in that viewBox
