You need an API key for your bot.
Go to your Slack instance, go to Integrations, then Bot integrations, and make a new one.
Grab that API key. Save it for the config file in a second.
Clone this repo, make sure you have node and npm installed!
Edit the package.json with your name.
Run npm install to install dependencies.
Rename config.sample.js to config.js and edit it with your own config.
Run node /path/to/bot.js /path/to/config.js to get it running.
Invite testbot to your channel!
You can also use this with Docker! Update the Dockerfile with your email address.
docker build -t your-name/testbot .
docker run -d your-name/testbot
Nice.
The testbot will respond with whatever the message following the bot trigger along with the user and the channel. For example, if you set the trigger as .test, a message of .test yo will respond with "[user] said 'yo' in [channel]".
