notification-app-js

Js framework to create RingCentral notification messaging app.

Prerequisites

• Download and install RingCentral app and login: https://www.ringcentral.com/apps/rc-app
• Nodejs 8.10+/npm, recommend using nvm to install nodejs/npm.
• If you want to create RingCentral Glip integration that can show in RingCentral Glip apps list, you need a RingCentral developer account that can create Glip integration: you need sign up and apply for the permission to create Glip integration.

Quick start

Let's start a simple RingCentral Glip integration that post time to a Glip team you selected.

# get the code
git clone [email protected]:ringcentral/notification-app-js.git
cd notification-app-js

# install dependecies
npm i

# start proxy server, this will make your local bot server can be accessed by RingCentral service
npm run ngrok

# will show
Forwarding                    https://xxxx.ap.ngrok.io -> localhost:6066
# Remember the https://xxxx.ap.ngrok.io, we will use it later

Goto RingCentral app's App list, select Incoming WebHooks app, and choose a team, and copy the glip webhook url for later use, and confirm install.

# create env file
cp .env.sample .env
# then edit .env,
# set https://xxxx.ap.ngrok.io as RINGCENTRAL_APP_SERVER
# set glip webhook url copied as STATIC_WEBHOOK

# run local dev server
npm start

Then the team will get timestamp message every minute.

Check example-configs/interval-send-time.js to see the code, it is pretty simple.

Adaptive cards support

npm run dev1

Check example-configs/interval-send-time-with-adaptive-card.js to see the code

Check https://adaptivecards.io/samples/ for more examples(* some may not be implanted yet)

What if need a config page with UI

In quick start section the app is quite simple, only send message to the webhook url, what if we need a third party service send message to the webhook url, for example, a github notification app would auto send github event to RingCentral chat group,

Check these this demo project, with step by step guide in readme:

https://github.com/ringcentral/github-notification-app-demo

Also check ringcentral-notification-app with UI(authorization and else) and ringcentral-notification-integration-helper which is used to communicate with RingCentral App.
