You need to add your plugins into your plugins directory. (see the example in this repo) There are 2 types of plugin: normal & cron.
For a normal plugin, you need to have function process_message(bot, message) in your plugin file to process the message. Every message the bot receives will be spread to all plugins.
# example 1
def process_message(bot, message):
bot.send_message('Hello World', '#channel')# example 2
import re
def process_message(bot, message):
match = re.match(r'hello', message['text'])
if not match:
return
bot.send_message('World', message['channel'])# reference for message: https://api.slack.com/events/message
simple_message = {
"type": "message",
"channel": "C2147483705",
"user": "U2147483697",
"text": "Hello world",
"ts": "1355517523.000005"
}For a cron plugin you need to have variable cron_interval and function cron_job(bot) in your plugin file. Every cron_interval secs, the cron_job will be run.
# bot will send 'Hello' to channel '#channel' every 30 secs
cron_interval = 30 # in secs
def cron_job(bot):
bot.send_message('Hello', '#channel')License
