📡 A slack connector for opsdroid

An open source chat-ops bot framework

Quick Start • Documentation • Playground • Blog • Community

---

An open source chatbot framework written in Python. It is designed to be extendable, scalable and simple.

This framework is designed to take events from chat services and other sources and execute Python functions (skills) based on their contents. Those functions can be anything you like, from simple conversational responses to running complex tasks. The true power of this project is to act as a glue library to bring the multitude of natural language APIs, chat services and third-party APIs together.

connector-slack's Issues

slack permissions to skills

Hi,
How can i set permissions to skills, To allow User A to use specific skill and not allow User B ?

slacker-asyncio it's probably no longer mantained

slacker-asyncio it's the main dependency and seems abandoned.

The last commit is from May'16.
See this issue: gfreezy/slacker-asyncio#7

Websocket not reconnecting

If the websocket connection disconnects it doesn't reconnect.

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Update for v0.3.0

v0.3.0 has a breaking change which requires connectors and databases to inherit from a base class in order to be used.

Therefore this module will no longer work until this is updated.

It also demonstrates that opsdroid needs some kind of versioning system for modules.

Responses should include a thread_ts

You can specify a message as the reply to another message by setting thread_ts to the timestamp of the original message.

https://api.slack.com/methods/chat.postMessage

This would fix thread replies being posted in the main room.

Add reactions

Reactions are a nice feature of slack, and would be great to add the capability to opsdroid slack connector to react to messages.
I investigated a lite and to archive this, we need to do some changes:

• Reactions are implemented in slacker. But in order to react to a message, you need the channel and the exact timestamp of the message. Actually, opsdroid Message class don't save the message origin timestamp. So a ts property should be created, or created property should be used for this prupose.
• So in the listen method of the slack connector, this new property should be filled with the timestamp of the message (m["ts"])
• An add_reaction method should be implemented in the slack connector, with something like:

    async def add_reaction(self, message, reaction):
        """ Respond with a message """
        _LOGGER.debug("Adding reaction '"+reaction+"' with: '" + message.text +
                      "' in room " + message.room)
        await self.sc.reactions.add(
            reaction, channel=message.room, timestamp=message.ts)

• In the test I made, slacker fails in Reactions.add when using channel and timestamp. To resolve it, I removed file and file_comment from the post call. We should try it again and if it fails as I saw, open an issue in slacker.
• With all changes done, this can be used from an skill:

if message.connector.name == 'slack':
    await message.connector.add_reaction(message, 'thumbsup')

What do you think?

Cannot connect to channel

I configured the bot with api-token and etc. But when the bot starts, it gets an error as follows:

Add attachment support

It would be nice to be able to use the attachments feature in Slack messages to format the message.

Link to code in Slacker for reference
Link to Slack API for reference

One bug I ran into when just forking the connector is that the current Message class doesn't support passing an extra argument, like attachments, to the respond() method and there's not currently a message attribute that looks like it could be used for that.
