Call it "hai-bot" or call it "he-bot". Either way, it's a Slack bot built for the 2017 hotels.ng remote internship Slack team
Right now, there are almost 1000 people on the Slack team, leading to a lot of chaos. People keep asking the same questions and making the same requests of the same organisers, so we created this bot to help bring order from chaos. 🙂
Currently, hibot:
- Sends each member of the team an onboarding DM when they join, pointing them to all the info they need to get started.
- Handles requests by users to be added to the Gitlab projects
- Handles requests by users to be added to the conjure.io projects
- Handles requests by users to be added to the pivotaltracker projects
We keep thinking of innovative ways to put this bot to work to help streamline things. If you think of any, please shoot a mail to shalvah.adebayo@gmail.com
We realised the logic of this bot was quite tightly coupled to this particular Slack team, so we've forked this project to hubot. hubot will have a web interface, so you can easily add it to your team and set up a responses and stuff without needing to write any code. If you want it to perform more tasks specific to your team, then you can just fork the project.
Yeah. Just in case you didn't know, hibot is built on Laravel, the PHP framework. Cool, right?
hibot is not (yet) endorsed by or affiliated with Hotels.ng

...and you can be one. Just...er, contribute. Fin an issue or suggest a feature, and you're on.
We'd ask you to star, but...please STAR! But do look through the code too, and let us know any issues or bad practices you find. Don't forget to check out hubot too. Have a great day!
