Slack bot client

Little project to serve a slack client. The intention of this repo is to apply/learn how to serve a client in ruby.

Gems: • puma • sinara • slack-ruby-client

Create a slack app

First of all you will need a slack app. This can be created in the slack web api dashboard https://api.slack.com/apps.

Then you will need to add some scopes in the slack app dashboard

For the propuse of this repo we will need the scopes:

• commands
• mpim:write
• im:write
• chat:write

You can read more about slack app scopes here

Next step will be to install the app in one of your workspace (I recommend a testing workspace)

Finally you need to create a slack slash command /hello Here you can read more about slash commands Set up command URL. (slack needs a https url, so i'm using ngrok to generate it) The URL need to finish with /slack since that is the endpoint that i'm using in api.rb.

Run

In slack_client.rb update the SLACK_BOT_TOKEN with yours. For real word examples this should be secret and storaged in a different place.

Behind the repo run bundle exec puma --port <your-port> (your-port) should be same that you used for ngrok and slack urls.
