EvaDB Slack Bot 2 Using EvaDBs Slack as a Data Source

A Slack App that summarizes a single message or a group of messages on a single channel using EvaDB and GPT4ALL

Installation Guide

Step 1) Create a Slack App

You will need a Slack token for your bot to connect the code to the bot and a channel to connect the bot to. As of right now the bot only works on a singular channel.

Step 2) Install and set up NGROK

You will need to use NGROK to connect the Flask server to Slack once it is installed open the application and use the command: ngrok http 8080 This will create a link that you will then put in the Event Subscriptions URL link inside your Slack application.

Step 3) Final Steps

Install the required packages to be able to run everything. After this is done there are two lines of code you will need to edit so the app works for your server. You must edit the CHANNEL_ID and BOT_ID variables in the EvaDB.py they are towards the top. CHANNEL_ID is the channel ID for the channel the bot will live in. BOT_ID is the ID for the bot. This lets the application bypass the bot when saving messages so they do not crowd the Message Table

STEP 4) Start the Flask Server

Run flask_server.py to start the flask server and now it should be able to see your Slack Channel.
