This project is a bot specifically for use with the Znanija.com workspace in Slack.

The bot has several important features for the workspace, such as deleting messages by emoji, logging deleted messages, and forwarding messages to different channels.

Configure

Set the ENV environment variable. Then you will have to create .env / .env.production.

ENV=production # or development

# Slack config
SLACK_APP_TOKEN="xapp-..."
SLACK_BOT_TOKEN="xoxb-..."
SLACK_ADMIN_TOKEN="xoxp-..."
SLACK_SIGNING_SECRET="..."
HELP_CHANNEL_ID="C353BRQAZ"
TODELETE_CHANNEL_ID="C2P3PR98V"
ANTISPAMERS_CHANNEL_ID="C02DE6LKQLR"
MODERATORS_CHANNEL_ID="C03KLBS5S94"

ZNANIJA_API_HOST="https://znanija.com"
ZNANIJA_API_TOKEN="XXXXXXXX" # X-B-Token-Long auth token
ZNANIJA_HOST="https://znanija.com"

REDIS_DB_URL="redis://user:pass@host.com:12957/0"

# Use Sentry in production mode only
SENTRY_DSN="..."

# Logs (Google Sheets)
LOG_SHEETS_ID="<id>"

Then create secrets.py in mrrobot/config directory and set:

• the Google Service Account credentials
• list of admins in the Slack workspace

GOOGLE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT = {}
admins = ["U35GJA25B"]

Run the bot locally

$ export ENV=production
