hubot-slack-irc-gateway

Slack adaptor with irc-gateway for hubot

For who

• cannot receive outgoing webhooks
  • probably because of firewall
• cannot create a hubot's slack account
  • because slack charge to each account

Not for who

• can receive outgoing webhooks
  • use hubot-slack
• can create account per each hubot
  • use hubot-irc

Try

export HUBOT_IRC_PORT=6667

# settings for slack api
# @see https://api.slack.com/
export HUBOT_SLACK_TOKEN=your_slack_token_here
export HUBOT_IRC_SERVER=your.domain.slack.com

# settings for irc gateway
# @see https://YOUR.DOMAIN.slack.com/account/gateways
export HUBOT_IRC_LOGIN_USER=user_name_for_irc_gateway
export HUBOT_IRC_LOGIN_PASSWORD=password_for_irc_gateway

export HUBOT_IRC_ROOMS="#channel1,#channel2"
bin/hubot -a slack-irc-gateway --name mybot

How it works

• receive messages using Slack's ircgateway
• post messages with slack API
  • ircgateway has more strict limitation of use than API
