A bot that simulates user comments in slack

Installation:

Create constants.js file at root level with following variables exported:

• apiToken : the slack Api token for your slack team. Can not be the bot token, as the bot doesn't get API access.
• botToken : the slack bot token for the slack bot you want to respond to queries
• botId : the id of that slack bot so it can identify when it is summoned
• simChannelId: the id of the channel that Slack bot will use to simulate slack discussion

Optional, if using twitter parsing:

• twitterConsumerKey: the key of your twitter dev account
• twitterConsumerSecret: the secret of your twitter dev account
• twitterAccessTokenKey: the twitter access token key for your app
• twitterAccessTokenSecret: the twitter access token secret for your app

Node dependencies:

• node-slack-sdk (https://github.com/slackhq/node-slack-sdk);
• node https

Optional, if you want to use twitter parsing as well:

• node Twitter

node bot.js to run the app

To summon the app, give it a call by name of bot with a username of a person, eg: @slacksim cudabear

To summon the app to parse tweets, give it a call by name of bot with twitter keyword and a handle: @slacksim twitter cudascubby
