CHAOSS SLACK BOT

About

This holds the code to the CHAOSS slack bot for newcomers to the project. Built with Bolt for JavaScript. For an open source community to grow, supporting newcomers and providing them with the information they need to contribute is really important. CHAOSS Slack Bot aims to provide a solution to this problem. Thanks for checking us out!

Bot Functions

  • When a user joins the team, sends a message in a predefined channel asking them to introduce themselves.
  • When a user joins the team, sends an interactive message via DM to determine how they intend to contribute and provide the relevant resources.
  • When a user types “newbie” in a channel or to the bot directly, sends an interactive message showing ways you can contribute.
  • When a user types “outreachy” in a channel or to the bot directly, responds with information about Outreachy.
  • Responds when a user says "hello", "hey" or "hi".
  • Can send a DM to all users in the workspace, triggered by the message “intro-CHAOSS”.
