slack-bot | use Slack bot for lazy developers | Bot library

i have created a slackbot with nodejs using @slack/bolt. i'm able to receive event in my nodejs server from slack whenever i tag with my slackapp and send textMessage or textMessage+Fileattachment. Please find the nodejs source code and output of the event object below.

The problem is, when i upload a file in slack, the event is received by my nodejs slack-bot. (shown in below screenshot+view the event object details in the output attached below)

• The links to the uploaded file is retrieved by the nodejs slack-bot from the event object
• i'm able to use the link in web browser(for eg. google chrome) to view the uploaded file.
• When i use the link to download the file via nodejs code, the file gets downloaded, but the downloaded file is corrupted

i'm not sure how to download the valid file using nodejs slack-bot. i have tried changing few parameters and settings but no success. The docs aren't helping me so far

Please help me out

Nodejs source code

As per the documentation[1], I've created a quick-create link to create a simple stack in AWS cloud formation. The stack configuration YAML file is hosted on s3[2]. It creates a stack required as part of an onboarding process for a new developer tool I'm building[3].

I am using the following link:

https://console.aws.amazon.com/cloudformation/home?region=eu-west-2#/stacks/new?stackName=CBill-slack-bot&param_UserId=1&param_VersionToken=TL3K3DK3K:R2D2H001&templateURL=https://s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/cbill-stack-files/CBillReadOnlyAndBillingRole-TL3K3DK3K_R2D2H00F

However, the parameters UserId and VersionToken are not being populated when I click the link.

I've gone thoroughly through the documentation and have tested different tweaks for a few hours without success. The last thing to test would be to convert my YAML file to JSON and see if it works (although that would take me a while). Any help would be appreciated.

I'm using slackbots (https://github.com/mishk0/slack-bot-api) to create an interactive bot. I can, as a user, send message in chat and having my bot giving me an answer depending on what i wrote. Like if I type : !weekend, my bot will answer if weekend is close or not by fetching an API.

It's working this way

I've been following this tutorial on how to build a bot using SlackKit and deploy it using Heroku.
Got everything to work but, except for the fact that I've yet to include the Slack's API token for the bot.

I'm not sure how to "safely" do this—is there a way to securely add the token in Heroku and let the Swift code retrieve it from there and afterwards add it to the bot?

From reading a bit I think that I need to use config variables on Heroku? If so; how do I retrieve them from within the Swift code?

If not—what should I look at then?

I hope someone can help me .

I have stored ssh keys in vault as a secret. With saltstack config I am reading the secret with a pillar. Like this

I have set up a Docker container to run as a worker in Heroku. I'm using this simple heroku.yml

One of the issues is I’m running into is getting additional data from a command in slack. I️ don’t want to use Slash commands because I️ can’t expose my localhost to the world.

Example:

I'm trying to deploy an application in a GKE 1.6.2 cluster running ContainerOS but the instructions on the website / k8s are not accurate anymore.

The error that I'm getting is:
