This is a bot that reads GroupMe messages and forwards them to another server. In this case, the intent of this bot is to forward GroupMe messages to a custom Slackbot, which will post them.
This readme assumes that you are using Heroku to host your bots.
This bot requires that you set up a bot on the GroupMe developer site. You will need a developer login.
When you create your bot, you will get a BOT_ID and a BOT_NAME.
This bot is designed to forward content to a Slackbot, which will post that content in a slack channel.
This is the code for the accompanying bot. https://github.com/EricFram/anderbot-slack-receiving-section-C
In your Heroku app, visit the settings tab and find the Config Variables section.
Add the following config variables based on your bot configuration
- BOT_ID (random numbers and letters assigned when you register bot on GroupMe)
- BOT_NAME (custom name assigned when you register bot on GroupMe)
- FORWARDING_ADDRESS (URL of your Slackbot)
- Functionality to respond to GroupMe messages with reminders and links to Slack channel
The configuration of this bot was based off the GroupMe Node bot tutorial project. https://github.com/groupme/bot-tutorial-nodejs
