adroll / slackask

Ask people anonymous questions on Slack.

To setup slackask you need to deploy get a slash command token from Slack as well as an incoming webhook url. Edit the slackask_settings.py file and insert those. If you'd like to use something other than sqlite also tweak the db url.

Then run $ pip install -r requirements.txt

Run $ python application.py and you're off to the races.

When you're off to the races you can use it from slack like so:

/ask @phuff What is your favorite color?

phuff will get a private message from SlackBot that looks like this:

Somebody asked you a new question! #1: What is your favorite color?
To publish it: /ask publish 1 <channel-name>
To list your questions: /ask list
For more help: /ask help

phuff can then post the question if they so choose:

/ask publish 1 #my-favorite-channel-name

If they don't want to publish it they can delete it:

/ask delete 1

Users can list the questions they've been asked:

/ask list

And help is always a command away:

/ask help
