slack_responder 0.1.2

A slack bot that responds to regex patterns

# slack_responder Monitors all messages for regex patterns and returns a corresponding message. I use this for turning ticket numbers into links.

## Work In Progress!

This is only toy code at the moment, as it’s only my first time writing a slack integration. The responses will be sent under the name of whatever user registered the API token.

## Usage:

Create yourself a bot user, paste the token given to you into your config file (just copy the example.yaml), and run.

` python slack_responder.py -c ./responder.yaml `

## Configuration:

See the example.yaml configuration file.

## Warning:

Make sure your regex pattern properly excludes your response from matching, otherwise you’ll be told to fix your pattern. There’s probably a better way of checking this (like detecting the username..) but I haven’t looked too hard.

## Installation:

I’m not (yet) packaging this up, so I’m not providing any instructions. If you can figure it out, then you can probably use it without my help.

## TODO:

• Docs

• Way more tests

• travis test integration

• pypi

• logging (click.echo)
