Slack App Setup
To speed up app configuration, you can use the App Manifest. Make sure you replace <your-karmachest-domain> with the appropriate value before importing.
First you'll want to setup the name of the app. You can provide anything you want, but KarmaChest is recommended. You can set the bot display name separately (see below) so don't worry if that name is not available. Enter a description such as Team engagement through micro gratitude. Select a color - the recommended default is blue (#3491c7).
You may use the following avatar if you wish:
Ensure the following options are active:
- Enable Events
- Always Show My Bot as Online
You can name your bot separately from the app. Go to "App Home" and click "Edit" next to "App Display Name". Set the bot name to "KarmaChest" and the Default Name to "karmachest".
Ensure Home Tab is disabled. Enable Message Tab and allow users to send Slash commands from there.
To enable the User ++ context action, enter it with reply_tip Callback ID. Description should be Give 1 karma to the author of the message.
Enter the Subscriptions Request URL as https://<your-karmachest-domain>/hooks/slack/event.
For the initial setup, you'll need to respond with the appropriate challenge response. Uncomment before_action :verify_challenge_param in https://github.com/jcraigk/karmachest/blob/master/app/controllers/hooks/slack/base_controller.rb#L6 during initial app integration.
