This is an application made by personal request - it handles some FreshDesk functionality for Slack.

The bot reads from an environment file called .env. A sample configuration titled .env.sample is provided that lists all the supported settings.
A full description of the settings is as follows...
| Setting Name | Description |
|---|---|
FRESHDESK_API_URL |
Your URL to access to the FreshDesk API |
FRESHDESK_ACCESS_URL |
Your URL to access FreshDesk itself (e.g. for tickets) |
FRESHDESK_API_KEY |
API key to access the Freshdesk API |
SLACK_SIGNING_SECRET |
The signing secret from your Slack app management page for verifying that messages are actually coming from Slack |
LIMIT_USERS |
Defaults to true if not specified. This allows you to specify APPROVED_USERS and provide a list of users who can send commands to this app |
APPROVED_USERS |
A JSON list of usernames that are allowed to use this bot. Enforced if LIMIT_USERS=true |
INIT_CUSTOM_STATUSES |

The easiest way would be to use the provided Dockerfile.
Otherwise, to do it from scratch...
# get source
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/leikahing/mentos.git
cd mentos
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
# configure whatever settings you want in .env and then run server
cp .env.sample .env
gunicorn mentos.py.main:app -w 4 -k uvicorn.workers.UvicornWorker
- Use this with Slack's apps feature, as the this does not work with legacy Slack integrations
I'd recommend running uvicorn with --reload like so:
uvicorn mentos.py.main:app --reload
This has been tested on Python 3.8+
