Quivr Slack Bot

This Slack bot allows users to ask questions to a Quivr brain directly from Slack.

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.x
  • Slack bot token and signing secret
  • Quivr API key

Installation

quivr-explanation-slack-low-quality.mp4
  1. Clone the repository:

    git clone https://github.com/quivrHQ/slackbot.git
    
  2. Install the required dependencies:

    pip install -r requirements.txt
    
  3. Set up environment variables:

    • Create a .env file in the project root.
    • Add the following variables to the .env file:
      SLACK_BOT_TOKEN=your-slack-bot-token
      SLACK_SIGNING_SECRET=your-slack-signing-secret
      QUIVR_API_KEY=your-quivr-api-key
      
  4. Set up a Slack app:

    • Create a new Slack app.
    • Add a bot user to the app.
    • Install the app to your workspace.
    • Copy the bot token and signing secret to the .env file.
  5. Go to your Quivr account:

    • Go to the user settings page.
    • Copy the API key to the .env file.

Usage

  1. Start the bot:

    ngrok http 1234
    

    This will create a public URL that you can use to expose the bot to the internet.

    uvicorn main:api --reload --port 1234
    
  2. Set up the Slack app:

    • Go to the Slack app settings page.
    • Add the public URL as the request URL for the Slack app.
    • Subscribe to the app_mention event.
    • Save the changes.
  3. Invite the bot to a Slack channel.

  4. Mention the bot in a message to ask a question:

    @quivr-bot What is the capital of France?
    

    The bot will retrieve the answer from the Quivr brain and respond in the Slack channel.

Customization

  • You can modify the handle_app_mentions function in main.py to customize the bot's behavior.
  • Adjust the Quivr API endpoints and request parameters as needed.
