# `#dev-help` Helper Bot

This bot automates a pattern that we've been using at Artsy, where a question is asked in Slack and then, if it's answered, the dev marks the thread with an emoji checkmark. 

Having to go and find that little checkmark is a bit annoying though! So now all the original questioner needs to do is type `solved` into the thread and the bot will automatically add the ✅ for them, making the process a bit more efficient.

## Meta

- **Slack App Link:** https://api.slack.com/apps/A013FSQNV96

- **Endpoint for Slack:** https://dev-help-helper-bot-staging.artsy.net/slack/events

- **Point People:** [@pvinis](https://github.com/pvinis)

## How to develop

- Make a `.env` file with the contents of `Slackbot dev-help-helper tokens` on 1Password.

- Run `yarn dev` to run the bot locally.

- Run `yarn ngrok` to expose the bot to the internet.

- Copy the first url from ngrok output, something like `https://14c3-108-54-246-210.ngrok.io -> http://localhost:8080`, so take the `https://14c3-108-54-246-210.ngrok.io` part.

- Go to https://api.slack.com/apps/A013FSQNV96/event-subscriptions and paste the link in the `Request URL` field, appending `/slack/events`, so in our example, `https://14c3-108-54-246-210.ngrok.io/slack/events`.

- Click `Save Changes` at the bottom of the page.

- **Make sure to put the previous endpoint for Slack back in that `Request URL` field. It's at the top of this file, but here is is again. https://dev-help-helper-bot-staging.artsy.net/slack/events**
