Wailingbot

Wailingbot is an open source slack bot that implements a Wailing Wall interface.

Create a new app https://api.slack.com/apps
Name your app and select slash command feature
Go back to your apps and click on the newly created
- Save for later the Verification Token
- Install your app to your workspace

Configure the slash commands for your app

Command       /wwadd
Request URL   http://mydomain:port/quote

Command       /wwget
Request URL   http://mydomain:port/random

Bot gets confiured thorugh environment variables:

An usage example is as follows, no other format is supported:

/wwadd @slack_user_owning_quote [2017-05-22] This is a legendary quote
/wwget

When you get a random quote the response should look like:

wailingbot
This is a legendary quote, by @slack_user_owning_quote 2017-05-22

The slack command can be named whatever you like:

/my_add_command @slack_user_owning_quote [2017-05-22] This is a legendary quote
/my_get_cmmmand

To do so you have to configure it properly and make sure it points to the right endpoints in the command section:

Command       /my_add_command
Request URL   http://mydomain:port/quote

Command       /my_get_command
Request URL   http://mydomain:port/random
