To avoid extra configurations, you should have `docker` and `docker-compose` installed. \n\nIf you don't whant to install these softwares, you will be able to use this app installing `ruby` (\u003e= 2.3) and `Postgresql` (\u003e= 9.5).\n\n## Usage\n\n  * Clone this repo `git clone https://github.com/rwehresmann/chatbot_faq_manager.git`;\n  * In the repo folder, run: \n    * `docker-compose build`;\n    * `docker-compose run --rm website rake db:create`;\n    * `docker-compose run --rm website rake db:migrate`.\n  \nIt's done! You can start the application running `docker-compose up`. To test the application functionalities in your local machine, run `curl` commands in your terminal. For instance:\n\n```\ncurl -H \"Content-Type: application/json\" -X POST -d '{\"result\":{\"source\":\"agent\",\"resolvedQuery\":\"help\",\"action\":\"general_help\",\"actionIncomplete\":false,\"parameters\":{},\"contexts\":[],\"metadata\":{\"intentId\":\"96f80b7f-ba7f-4b52-b5f5-dda9b6e3ab5f\",\"webhookUsed\":\"true\",\"webhookForSlotFillingUsed\":\"false\",\"webhookResponseTime\":18,\"intentName\":\"general_help\"}}}' http://localhost:9292/webhook\n```\n\nThis will show the chatbot help message.

Click and import the file  `/backup/chatbot_faq_manager.zip` (located inside the app repo);\n  * In your agent, you'll see the `Fullfilment` option. Click and enable it, also adding in `URL` option the URL from the app that you created. Save these modifications;\n  * Follow the instructions from [api.ai Slack integration guide](https://docs.api.ai/docs/slack-integration).\n\nAt the end of the integration guide, you will be able to add the Chatbot FAQ Manager in your Slack channel!\n\n## Contributing\n\nA lot can be done to improve this chatbot.
