Movie Bot

movie-slackpy : Custom command for Slack

What is it?

A script in Python that lets you easily share/lookup a movie in Slack.

Setting up Slack

1. Create a Slack Incoming Webhook. Take note of the Webhook URL as that is important. The rest of the settings are not.
2. Deploy your copy of movie-slackpy and make sure it is accessible via an endpoint.
3. Create a Slack Slash Command. Be sure to set your method to POST and set your URL endpoint from Step #2. All the other options are optional.

Environment

The following environment variables need to be set!

• BOT_NAME - The username in which the webhook should respond with. Defaults to whatever it set on the webhook configuration. (Default: Meseeks)
• EMOJI - The emoji to use with the webhook response. Defaults to whatever it set on the webhook configuration. (Deafault: 🎥)
• SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL - Slack Incoming Webhook URL. (REQUIRED)
