A simple location status bot for slack

Primary LanguageRuby

whereami

This is a simple Slack slash command bot, which when called from slack with /whereami, will attempt to locate you based on users.info and the geocoder gem.

It will also attempt to set your users.profile with something like this:

{
  "status_text": "Australian Eastern Standard Time",
  "status_emoji": ":flag-au:"
}

You can run this on heroku for free and make sure you set the app's oauth token which you will get from Slack.

heroku create
heroku config:set TOKEN=<Your OAuth Access Token>

You will also need to select the following permission scopes:

  • users:read
  • users:profile:write
