Headstorm's Slack Bots to automate Headstorm operations.
All bots and supporting code are written in Scala and initialized in Module
All the bots (right now) are prototypes and none of them have been deployed to a server that will run them permanently.
Run bot server locally with sbt run
You need to have the environment variables set which are named in the application.conf in order to auth with the Slack API
Bots are located in the bots package
To make any changes you can test them out locally by booting the server on your machine using the above instructions. After completing the changes the server running sbt will need to deployed somewhere to run and have live bots.
Slack provides a range of APIs to integrate bots in your work space. Any new apps will need to be registered with Slack https://api.slack.com/apps. All API token and access keys can be obtained through Slack by logging into Headstorm's organization online.
All Slack apps need to be registered and distributed by Slack, and can be done with APIs or through their website. All apps are available through the Slack app store and can be configured to work in whichever way the creater/users desire, either by using mention @myBot or setting up regular interactioon intervals.
