slack-echo-chamber

A little Flask webapp to pass messages from one channel to another. We use this to replicate the content of some internal discussion channels with our guest-accessible "friends of Balloon" channel.

Setup

Create an incoming webhook for the target channel.

# on some webservery-like unix box
pip install -r requirements.txt
export SLACK_WEBHOOK='YOUR_INCOMING_WEBHOOK_URL'
python echo.py

This will start the webserver listening on port 3246.

Configure an outgoing webhook in your Slack integrations from the channel you want replicated that points to http://your-webserver.example.com:3246.

Now, when something is said in the replicated channel, you should see it echoed back in the target channel.

Deploying this properly is left as an exercise for the reader.
