Setup

Requirements

In order to be used, Slack is requiring https url on its new Event API. It doesn't allow unstrusted SSL certificate (auto generated one). You can claim free certificates from Let's Encrypt or Start SSL.

First of all, ensure you're using the latest composer and SeAT version. We assume you will run all command with the SeAT user. This is mandatory. In the following line, you'll see domain in some url. You must replace this by your domain or slack access path.

Create an app on Slack

1. go on Slack Application
2. clic on Create New App
3. on left side, clic on OAuth & Permissions and put https://domain/slackbot/oauth/callback and save changes.

1. put your SeAT instance offline by running php artisan down
2. including slackbot into SeAT with composer require warlof/slackbot
3. add the plugin to your SeAT instance by editing the file in config/app.php and append this line Warlof\Seat\Slackbot\SlackbotServiceProvider::class after https://github.com/eveseat/seat/blob/2.0.0/config/app.php#L185-L187

/*

4. publish the newly installed package with php artisan vendor:publish --force
5. update your database with php artisan migrate
6. restart supervisor using sudo service supervisor restart in order to load new codes
7. back your SeAT instance online with php artisan up
8. sign to your instance with a superuser and go into Slackbot > Slackbot Settings in order to setup the plugin

Sync SeAT and Slack

When everything is correctly setup, go on your SeAT instance on Configuration > Schedule and ensure that slack:update is in the list. If not, you can add it with every five minutes rule.

If you're on an existing Slack, go into Slackbot > Slackbot Settings from the sidebar and hit the Update Slack Channels and groups button. This will pull all known private and public channels.
