Install

1. Deploy

You can simply deploy it on Heroku by pressing this button:

Or just run it on your own server:

1. Setup a MongoDB instance, and configure the url with on the environment variable MONGO_URL.
2. Generate a random token (maybe here?), and set it on the env var TOKEN.
3. Start the bot with npm start.

2. Configure it on your Slack Team

Create an "Outgoing WebHook" here. With this settings (change them as you wish, very opinionated):

• Channel: #iou
• Trigger Word(s): iou,ask
• URL(s): The url of your server with a trailing /bot. e.g.: https://iou-slack-bot.herokuapp.com/bot
• Token: The TOKEN you generated on "Deploy" step. (if heroku, get it with heroku config:get TOKEN)
• Descriptive Label: iou
• Customize Name: IOU Slack Bot
• Customize Icon: :money_with_wings: emoji. THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT SETTING 😱
