Verifying botkit against the slack events api

Slackbot + Heroku: Have to keep logging in

QUESTION

Verifying botkit against the slack events api

Asked 2019-Jul-17 at 15:41

I'm having a pretty basic problem - trying to upgrade my botkit app from 0.7.x -> 4.x.
I've used yo botkit to generate a new v4 bot, according to these instructions. Now that I try to configure the bot with slack I can't verify the events api the same way I did with the v0.7 bot.

When I go to slacks events api url and try to verify a request url, my node app is responding with a 404 not found error.
Looking at the code, it seems that the endpoint for /slack/receive which slack is trying to access is indeed removed from the code.
This prevents my bot from listening to messages and responding to them.

When I was configuring the bot in v0.7.x, I just cloned this repo and followed these instructions, but when I try to follow these instructions with the starter provided for v4.x the guide fails and I can't find a more relevant one.

Any idea what I'm missing here?

The url has changed in v4 - it is now /api/messages

QUESTION

Slackbot + Heroku: Have to keep logging in

Asked 2018-Aug-21 at 22:26

I'm having an issue with my botkit slack bot hosted on Heroku. The bot itself is just the "starter kit."

https://github.com/howdyai/botkit-starter-slack

After a little while, the bot stops working. The logs complain of not being able to find the team. I hit the /login path of my heroku-deployed app and allow it and it works again for a bit.

Is there a heroku configuration that I need to change to keep it from going idle or something? Or is this an issue with the starter kit? Could there be something I need to do in the slack configuration?

I am pretty sure that you run your bot on a hobby dyno. Heroku sends hobby dynos to sleep if they dont receive any requests.

What had happened:

You deployed the bot -> the bot is running and working
Everybody can write with the bot -> so great!
After a few minutes, while the bot is not used, the dyno falls asleep
At this moment the bot is not working
You hit the /login request and yeah -> the dyno starts again and the bot is running and working

Read more about free dynos here: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/free-dyno-hours.

Solution: Switch to Standard Dynos
