Slack Setup

Slash Command Setup

In the browser, navigate to https://your-slack-group.slack.com/apps/manage/custom-integrations. Click on "Slash Commands".


Click on "Add Configuration".


Name your command and click "Add Slash Command Integration".


Under "Integration Settings", add the path to your Express server. Give the Bot a name. And upload an image (Shush emoji is provided).


Fill in other fields if desired and click "Save Integration"


Incoming WebHook Setup

In the browser, navigate to https://your-slack-group.slack.com/apps/manage/custom-integrations. Click on "Incoming WebHooks".


Click on "Add Configuration".


In "Integration Settings", under "Post to Channel", select "@slackbot. Copy the "Webhook URL".


Paste the "Webhook URL" in the shush.bot.js file under the "routes" directory and start the Express server.

Assuming everything is configured correctly, there are no Node errors and I've documented everything properly, then you should be able to anonymously shush loud people in the office.

Test by /shush @your-slack-username.
