# An example Lambda function for a decoupled Slack bot

When [Slack events are forwarded to SNS][slack-events-sns], it makes it easy to

build small bots that respond to commands.

1. Pick a command that you want your bot to respond to. For example, you might

   want your bot to respond when users type `mybot ping`.

2. Edit `index.js` to do something in response to that command.

3. Create a SNS topic corresponding to that command and subscribe your Lambda

   function to it.

You might need help with step 3—just ask your friendly neighborhood #bots

channel!

## Events

See [Slack’s documentation][slack-events-docs] for an example of what’s included

in a Slack event.

Since this code is only triggered if a user types a specific command, e.g.,

`mybot ping hello!`, some extra information is added to the event to help you

respond:

```

{

  ...

  command: {

    subject: 'mybot',

    verb: 'ping',

    predicate: 'hello!'

  }

}

```
