itunes-connect-slack

These scripts fetch app info directly from iTunes Connect and posts changes in Slack as a bot. Since iTC doesn't provide event webhooks, these scripts use polling with the help of Fastlane's Spaceship.

Set up

Environment Variables

The scripts read config environment from .env file (require dotenv for nodejs + ruby). Be sure to create it follow env.example:

ITC_USERNAME=""
ITC_PASSWORD=""
BUNDLE_ID=""
SLACH_BOT_API_TOKEN="xoxb-"
SLACK_CHANNEL="random"

Install node modules + gem

> yarn install
> bundle install

Channel info

Set the specific channel you'd like the bot to post to .env. By default, it posts to #ios-app-updates.

Polling interval

In poll-itc.js, set the pollIntervalSeconds value to whatever you like.

Running the scripts

> node poll-itc.js

Or you can use the pm2 tool to keep it up indefinitely:

> pm2 start poll-itc.js --name 'itunes-connect-slack'
