This is a bot that adds the functionality of the /giphy
command from Slack to Groupme.
After deployment, users can just message a group on Groupme a text saying /giphy [something]
and the bot will respond with the first gif it finds on Giphy by searching the query something
.
To deploy your own, you will need a bot ID from Groupme and possibly an API key from giphy. When you have those, make sure you export BOT_ID="yourBotId"
and export API_KEY="YourAPIKey"
. I have also included a Procfile, in case you choose to deploy this bot with Heroku, as I did.
