MailSlackBot

This is a slack bot which receives and posts emails to slack.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'mail_slack_bot'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install mail_slack_bot

Usage

To create a bot, write a class that extends MailSlackBot::Daemon and provides mail and slack settings For example:

require 'mail_slack_bot'

class MyAlertBot < MailSlackBot::Daemon

  configure do |config|

    # Slack settings
    config.slack.team = ENV["SLACK_TEAM"]
    config.slack.token = ENV["SLACK_TOKEN"]
    config.slack.channel = '#alert'
    config.slack.username = 'alert'

    # Mail checking interval
    config.mail_check_interval = 10 # seconds

    # Uses https://github.com/mikel/mail,
    # so it's same as Mail.defaults https://github.com/mikel/mail#getting-emails-from-a-pop-server 
    config.mail.retriever_method :pop3,
                            :address    => "pop.gmail.com",
                            :port       => 995,
                            :user_name  => ENV["MAIL_USERNAME"],
                            :password   => ENV["MAIL_PASSWORD"],
                            :enable_ssl => true
  end
