Step 1: Deploy

Option 1: Host on Heroku

To deploy your own instance of inspirobot-slack on Heroku:

• Fork the repository.
• Create an Heroku account, if you are not registered yet.
• Create a new heroku app.

You can choose the deployment method you prefer, I suggest linking your app to GitHub and syncing upstream to be always up to date.

More on deploying with Heroku here.

Option 2: Use Docker (run everywhere)

Images for all project versions are available.

$ docker pull lorenzocestaro/inspirobot-slack
$ docker run -p 80:<EXTERNAL_PORT> lorenzocestaro/inspirobot-slack

Step 2: Create a Slack app

To add inspirobot to your Slack workspace:

• Create a new app.
• Add a slash command to your app.
• Configure your slash command to sent a request to your deployed service on the /quote route.
• Install your app as an internal integration for your workspace.
