audio-slackbot

A Slack bot which plays sounds from the filesystem upon certain triggers. Install and configure it on a RaspberryPi, connect some speakers and have fun.

Requirements

1. python ^3.6

Quickstart

1. Install the package:
   • $ pip install --user --upgrade audio-slackbot
2. Set up the Slack bot:
   • Create a new Slack bot in your workspace settings
   • Export the API token to your environment: $ export SLACK_API_TOKEN="xoxb-2349..."
   • Invite the bot to some Slack channels in your workspace
3. Create a configuration file:

# sounds.yaml
---
triggers:
  - word: "trololol"
    sound: "/home/pi/sounds/trololol.wav"

4. Start the bot:
   • $ audio_slackbot --config /home/pi/sounds.yaml

Now, when any message in any channel the bot is present contains "trololol" it will try to play the sound file "/home/pi/sounds/trololol.wav".

macOS

On macOS you need to install PyObjC and AppKit as well:

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="${PKG_CONFIG_PATH}:/usr/local/opt/libffi/lib/pkgconfig"
pip install --user PyObjC AppKit
