Slack Bot

A simple Slack bot built with Node.js and Slack Bolt. It runs in Socket Mode and provides fun slash commands for pinging, jokes, facts, dice rolls, choices, quotes, and Magic 8 Ball answers.

Setup

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/declanwhchan/Slack-Bot.git
cd Slack-Bot

Install dependencies:

npm install

Create a .env file in the project root:

SLACK_BOT_TOKEN=xoxb-your-bot-token
SLACK_APP_TOKEN=xapp-your-app-token

Run the bot:

node index.js

If it starts successfully, the terminal will show:

bot is running!
