Hacking Slack

A slackbot seed for The Forge Ann Arbor's May PluggedIn event.

Usage

  • Create a new Slack bot
    • Use this link to create a new Slack bot. Make sure you're signed into the right team (upper right corner).
    • Once you've created the integration, you'll see the Slack token you will use for SLACK_TOKEN (we'll talk about this shortly). This is what you will use for the rest of the project.
    • * NOTE * you will probably want to create a private channel for this exercise to test your bot to avoid unnecessary spamming of public channels.
  • Install Node.js - brew install node
  • Clone this repository git clone https://github.com/delasteve/hacking-slack.git
  • Type npm install in the created folder
  • Edit the index.js's SLACK_TOKEN variable with the provided SlackBot token
  • Hack away and have fun! :shipit:

TIPS

  • To stop the node server from running use ctrl-c in Terminal
