  • Install heroku toolbelt if you haven't already.

  • heroku create my-company-slackbot

  • heroku addons:add redistogo:nano

  • Activate the Hubot service on your "Team Services" page inside Slack.

  • Add the config variables:

      % heroku config:add HUBOT_SLACK_TOKEN=xoxb-1234-5678-91011-00e4dd
  % heroku config:add HUBOT_SLACK_BOTNAME=karmabot
  % heroku config:set HUBOT_HEROKU_KEEPALIVE_URL=$(heroku apps:info -s  | grep web_url | cut -d= -f2)

  • Deploy and start the bot:

      % git push heroku master

  • Profit!

Configuration

This adapter uses the following environment variables:

  • HUBOT_SLACK_TOKEN - this is the API token for the Slack user you would like to run Hubot under.
  • HUBOT_SLACK_BOTNAME - this is only for the karmabot leaderboard, it was required for earlier Slack Hubot integrations.
  • HUBOT_HEROKU_KEEPALIVE_URL - keepalive

To add or remove your bot from specific channels or private groups, you can use the /kick and /invite slash commands that are built into Slack.
