How I added hubot to our slack channel

Mostly copied from slackhq/hubot-slack github

FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS PAGE:

	npm install -g hubot coffee-script yo generator-hubot
	mkdir -p /path/to/hubot
	cd /path/to/hubot
	yo hubot
	npm install hubot-slack --save

Get hubot slack token

a. Go into slack integrations for your team b. API token will be available after adding it.

Edit procfile

Edit your Procfile and change it to use the slack adapter: (located in root of folder after installing in step 1)

 	web: bin/hubot --adapter slack

Run and test locally

HUBOT_SLACK_TOKEN=<insert valid token here> ./bin/hubot --adapter slack

Go into slack and hubot's status should be green -- online

Create heroku app and configure add on

 > heroku create hackerfriends-hackbot

 > heroku addons:create redistogo:nano

I couldn't do this without specifying the app, so I went to the dashboard and added 'Redis to go' manually. https://elements.heroku.com/addons/redistogo#addon-plans https://dashboard.heroku.com/apps/hackerfriends-hackbot

Add config variables

You can do this in your dashboard settings https://dashboard.heroku.com/apps/hackerfriends-hackbot/settings or terminal:

heroku config:add HEROKU_URL=https://hackerfriends-hackbot.herokuapp.com

heroku config:add HUBOT_SLACK_TOKEN= <token from generated from slack integrations>

Push to deploy to heroku

Remember to add remote

git remote add heroku https://git.heroku.com/hackerfriends-hackbot.

Deploy:

git push heroku master
