# Slack-Facebook Integration Project

## Demo 

## Project Objective

This project integrates Slack and Facebook, enabling automatic messaging in a Slack channel whenever a new message is received on a Facebook page. The integration is built using TypeScript, Express.js, and Slack's Web API.

## Features

- **Facebook Integration:** Listens for new messages on a Facebook page.

- **Slack Integration:** Automatically posts these messages to a specified Slack channel.

- **Secure Communication:** Ensures secure interaction between Facebook and Slack via a verification process.

## Project Setup

### Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed on your machine:

- **Node.js** (version 16.x or later)

- **npm** (globally installed)

### 1. Clone the Repository

`git clone [email protected]:singkunal2050/facebookslacknotifier.git`

### 2. Install Dependencies

`npm install`

### 3. Create Environment Configuration

Create a `src/configs.ts` file with the following content:

```javascript

const configs = {

  token: "your-slack-bot-token",

  channelId: "your-slack-channel-id",

  verifyToken: "your-facebook-verify-token",

};

export default configs;

```

Replace `'your-slack-bot-token'`, `'your-slack-channel-id'`, and `'your-facebook-verify-token'` with your actual values.

- ** Note: Use Environment Variables for these Sensitive Information **

```.env

SLACK_TOKEN=your-slack-token

SLACK_CHANNEL_ID=your-channel-id

VERIFY_TOKEN=your-verify-token

appPort=3000

```

### 4. Start the Development Server

`npm run dev`

This will start the server using `nodemon`.

### 5. Deploy the Application

`npm run serve`

This will serve the application using `node`.
