Slack RTM Bot
Building
Install Erlang and just run make.
Running
Put your bot's token into this command: make shell TOKEN=xoxb-14000000000-XXXXXXXXXxxxxXXXXXxxxxXX
Usage
Use your bot's nickname to have its attention:
- Request current config:
@duty_bot: config - List available channels:
@duty_bot: channels - Set channel topic/message trigger regexp:
@duty_bot: #letstalk trigger [Dd]uty - Set channel triggred response:
@duty_bot: #letstalk response {{user}} is to blame for all troubles
How does it work
The bot opens a websocket connection to Slack (using its RTM API) and listens for events.
When someone sets a topic in a channel with configured trigger, the bot reats to it with 👍 or 👎 to indicate if topic was parsed successfully.
When you change bot's config, it responds with an updated config dump, then sets a ✅ reaction. On start bots gets the latest config reaction to load config.
