What is a Triage Bot?                                                                                            

After triggering this bot through a slash command, it will scan the last 1000 messages in the current channel and look for messages that contain certain emojis [configurable] in the text (not reactions). These messages will be grouped into statuses and reported to the user.

Statuses

• Pending - Messages pending review
• Review - Messages that are in review
• Addressed - Messages that have been addressed

Requirements

• A Slash Command setup on your Slack Team
• A Slack Bot Token or a token with at least the channels:history scope

Usage

Environment Variables

• TOKEN - The Slack token
• PORT - The webserver port
• LOCALE - The preferred locale. Defaults to en

Starting

TOKEN=xoxp-XXXXXXXXXX PORT=3000 LOCALE=pirate npm start

Contents

• index.js - A very basic webserver and http client to post back to Slack
• triage.js - The main functionality lies here. Pass in the Slash command payload, the channel history, and optionally any settings overrides. You'll get a formatted Slack message with the results.

API

let message = triage(
  payload,    // The payload from the Slack slash command
  messages,   // An array of slack messages to triage
  settings    // Any settings overrides to apply [optional]
);

Settings

You can adjust the messages, emoji, and reactjis by updates the settings.json file or passing in any overrides you'd like to the main function.

triage(payload, messages, {
  display: [ "pending", "review" ]
});
