Live Browser Chat With Slack Integration

Browser-based chat client that sends messages to and from Slack. A NodeJS webserver acts as a middleman between Slack and MQTT (using [2lemetry's ThingFabric] 1), and the chat client sends messages to it via MQTT. Also includes automated Zendesk ticket creation for after-hours users.

Setup

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="path/to/mqttchat.js"></script>
<script>
	chatPlugin.start({
		username: '[ThingFabric username]',
		password: '[ThingFabric token]'
	});
</script>
