CADS_SLACKBOT

This is CADS_SLACKBOT!

First Steps

First goal is to provide basic services, such as sending messages to a Slack channel.
Be sure that your bot is a member of the specified channel.

How to Configure

SlackBot information

Use the slackbot_information_example.json to setup your own slackbot_information.json file.
The bot is using the information specified in the json file to get the wanted behaviour.

SlackBot commands (only for slackbot_responding)

Use the slackbot_commands_example.json to setup your own slackbot_commands.json file.
The bot is using the commands specified in the json file to respond the way you want. The bot makes a console call and sends the response.

Attention

Make sure that you not upload your token!

Examples

Sending a message with the specified SlackBot.

python3 slackbot_send_message.py "hello from python script"

This posts a hello to the specified channel.

The responding SlackBot could be started with:

python3 slackbot_responding.py

Now the SlackBot listens for the keywords. The keywords are specified in "slackbot_commands.json".
