Development

Development contribution requires that you have your own Slack workspace as your sandbox for local development purposes. For instructions on how to make your own, see Slack's tutorial.

Getting Started

  1. Install dependencies with NPM
  npm install
  1. Create an .env file by following the same structure as .env.example. Change the DEV_SUBDOMAIN variable to your name without spaces. For example, if your name is Jane Fonda, then the DEV_SUBDOMAIN value should be janefonda.

  2. Run Development mode

  npm run start:dev

Installing greetbot in your sandbox workspace

We have created a guide on how to set up your local version of greetbot in your Slack workspace. Read it here.

Putting it all together 🎉

Now that you have followed the tutorials and guides linked above to a T (right??), greetbot should work in your slack workspace. Try sending a slash command by typing /welcome test. greetbot should send you private message with a welcome message.
