# fb-messenger-to-slack

Post messages from Facebook Messenger to Slack

## Requirements

- Node.js (at least 0.10)

## Setup

Clone the repo and then install the npm modules

(as well as bunyan, used for logs):

```

cd fb-messenger-to-slack

sudo npm -g install bunyan

npm install

```

Configure the app by creating and editing config/local.yaml.

An example config file is included in config/default.yaml.

Finally, start the app:

```

node bootstrap.js | bunyan -o short -L

```

## Motivation

People resist to change. Really. I know some people who wouldn't give up

their beloved Facebook Messenger even if it meant a group chat of more than 30 people,

with tons of new messages regularly, which means having 300+ unread messages

if you were away for a few days.

Since they didn't want to envisage a better alternative (Slack), I decided to

forward all of the messages to Slack. While it isn't ideal, it at least sends

notifications for trigger words and tracks the last read message state infinitely better.
