A Slack Bot to store/find FAQ

Slack FAQ Bot

A simple slack bot which can store FAQs (questions and answers) and query them.

Still a WIP but very usable.

Usage

• help: Shows help information
• store q: <question> a: <answer>: Stores a new question/answer
• find <query>: Queries stored FAQs questions and answers and shows top 3 matches. Also shows link to see all found by query.

Deployment

• Create a new Bot Integration under services/new/bot.
• Set ENV Var SLACK_API_TOKEN from the Bot integration settings on Slack
• Set ENV Var HOST which is where the FAQ Bot will be hosted. (see below)
• Deploy and enjoy!

TODO

• Instead of having to set host, find a way to connect to Rails.
• Find a way to not require the ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection
• Tests
• Allow editing/deleting on web
