# How to Build Your First Slack Bot with Python
[Bots](https://www.fullstackpython.com/bots.html) are a useful way to interact with chat services such as [Slack](https://slack.com/). If you have never built a bot before, this post provides an easy starter tutorial for combining the [Slack API](https://api.slack.com/) with Python to create your first bot.
We will walk through setting up your development environment, obtaining a Slack API bot token and coding our simple bot in Python.
### Tools We Need
Our bot, which we will name "StarterBot", requires Python and the Slack API. To run our Python code we need:
* Either [Python 2 or 3](https://www.fullstackpython.com/python-2-or-3.html)
* [pip](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/) and [virtualenv](https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/stable/) to handle Python [application dependencies](https://www.fullstackpython.com/application-dependencies.html)
* [Free Slack account](https://slack.com/) with a team on which you have API access or sign up for the [Slack Developer Hangout team](http://dev4slack.xoxco.com/)
* Official Python [slackclient](https://github.com/slackhq/python-slackclient) code library built by the Slack team
* [Slack API testing token](https://api.slack.com/tokens)
It is also useful to have the [Slack API docs](https://api.slack.com/) handy while you're building this tutorial.
All the code for this tutorial is available open source under the MIT license in the [slack-starterbot](https://github.com/mattmakai/slack-starterbot) public repository.
### Establishing Our Environment
We now know what tools we need for our project so let's get our development environment set up. Go to the terminal (or Command Prompt on Windows) and change into the directory where you want to store this project. Within that directory, create a new virtualenv to isolate our application dependencies from other Python projects.
```
virtualenv starterbot
```
Activate the virtualenv:
```
source starterbot/bin/activate
```
Your prompt should now look like the one in this screenshot.
![Command prompt with starterbot's virtualenv activated.](https://www.fullstackpython.com/source/static/img/160604-simple-python-slack-bot/virtualenv-activate.png)
The official slackclient API helper library built by Slack can send and receive messages from a Slack channel. Install the slackclient library with the pip command:
```
pip install slackclient
```
When pip is finished you should see output like this and you'll be back at the prompt.
![Output from using the pip install slackclient command with a virtualenv activated.](https://www.fullstackpython.com/source/static/img/160604-simple-python-slack-bot/pip-install-slackclient.png)
We also need to obtain an access token for our Slack team so our bot can use it to connect to the Slack API.
### Slack Real Time Messaging (RTM) API
Slack grants programmatic access to their messaging channels via a [web API](https://www.fullstackpython.com/application-programming-interfaces.html). Go to the[Slack web API page](https://api.slack.com/) and sign up to create your own Slack team. You can also sign into an existing account where you have administrative privileges.
![Use the sign in button on the top right corner of the Slack API page.](https://www.fullstackpython.com/source/static/img/160604-simple-python-slack-bot/sign-in-slack.png)
After you have signed in go to the [Bot Users page](https://api.slack.com/bot-users).
![Custom bot users webpage.](https://www.fullstackpython.com/source/static/img/160604-simple-python-slack-bot/custom-bot-users.png)
Name your bot "starterbot" then click the “Add bot integration” button.
![Add a bot integration named starterbot.](https://www.fullstackpython.com/source/static/img/160604-simple-python-slack-bot/starterbot.jpg)
The page will reload and you will see a newly-generated access token. You can also change the logo to a custom design. For example, I gave this bot the Full Stack Python logo.
![Copy and paste the access token for your new Slack bot.](https://www.fullstackpython.com/source/static/img/160604-simple-python-slack-bot/slack-token.png)
Click the "Save Integration" button at the bottom of the page. Your bot is now ready to connect to Slack's API.
A common practice for Python developers is to export secret tokens as environment variables. Export the Slack token with the name SLACK_BOT_TOKEN:
```
export SLACK_BOT_TOKEN='your slack token pasted here'
```
Nice, now we are authorized to use the Slack API as a bot.
There is one more piece of information we need to build our bot: our bot's ID. Next we will write a short script to obtain that ID from the Slack API.
### Obtaining Our Bots ID
It is finally time to write some Python code! We'll get warmed up by coding a short Python script to obtain StarterBot's ID. The ID varies based on the Slack team.
We need the ID because it allows our application to determine if messages parsed from the Slack RTM are directed at StarterBot. Our script also tests that our SLACK_BOT_TOKENenvironment variable is properly set.
Create a new file named print_bot_id.py and fill it with the following code.
```
import os
from slackclient import SlackClient
BOT_NAME = 'starterbot'
slack_client = SlackClient(os.environ.get('SLACK_BOT_TOKEN'))
if __name__ == "__main__":
api_call = slack_client.api_call("users.list")
if api_call.get('ok'):
# retrieve all users so we can find our bot
users = api_call.get('members')
for user in users:
if 'name' in user and user.get('name') == BOT_NAME:
print("Bot ID for '" + user['name'] + "' is " + user.get('id'))
else:
print("could not find bot user with the name " + BOT_NAME)
```
Our code imports the SlackClient and instantiates it with our SLACK_BOT_TOKEN, which we set as an environment variable. When the script is executed by the python command we call the Slack API to list all Slack users and get the ID for the one that matches the name "starterbot".
We only need to run this script once to obtain our bots ID.
```
python print_bot_id.py
```
The script prints a single line of output when it is run that provides us with our bot's ID.
![Use the Python script to print the Slack bot's ID in your Slack team.](https://www.fullstackpython.com/source/static/img/160604-simple-python-slack-bot/printed-bot-id.png)
Copy the unique ID that your script prints out. Export the ID as an environment variable named BOT_ID.
```
(starterbot)$ export BOT_ID='bot id returned by script'
```
The script only needs to be run once to get the bot ID. We can now use that ID in our Python application that will run StarterBot.
### Coding Our StarterBot
We've got everything we need to write the StarterBot code. Create a new file namedstarterbot.py and include the following code in it.
```
import os
import time
from slackclient import SlackClient
```
The os and SlackClient imports will look familiar because we used them in theprint_bot_id.py program.
With our dependencies imported we can use them to obtain the environment variable values and then instantiate the Slack client.
```
# starterbot's ID as an environment variable
BOT_ID = os.environ.get("BOT_ID")
# constants
AT_BOT = "<@" + BOT_ID + ">:"
EXAMPLE_COMMAND = "do"
# instantiate Slack & Twilio clients
slack_client = SlackClient(os.environ.get('SLACK_BOT_TOKEN'))
```
The code instantiates the SlackClient client with our SLACK_BOT_TOKEN exported as an environment variable.
```
if __name__ == "__main__":
READ_WEBSOCKET_DELAY = 1 # 1 second delay between reading from firehose
if slack_client.rtm_connect():
print("StarterBot connected and running!")
while True:
command, channel = parse_slack_output(slack_client.rtm_read())
if command and channel:
handle_command(command, channel)
time.sleep(READ_WEBSOCKET_DELAY)
else:
print("Connection failed. Invalid Slack token or bot ID?")
```
The Slack client connects to the Slack RTM API WebSocket then constantly loops while parsing messages from the firehose. If any of those messages are directed at StarterBot, a function named handle_command determines what to do.
Next add two new functions to parse Slack output and handle commands.
```
def handle_command(command, channel):
"""
Receives commands directed at the bot and determines if they
are valid commands. If so, then acts on the commands. If not,
returns back what it needs for clarification.
"""
response = "Not sure what you mean. Use the *" + EXAMPLE_COMMAND + \
"* command with numbers, delimited by spaces."
if command.startswith(EXAMPLE_COMMAND):
response = "Sure...write some more code then I can do that!"
slack_client.api_call("chat.postMessage", channel=channel,
text=response, as_user=True)
def parse_slack_output(slack_rtm_output):
"""
The Slack Real Time Messaging API is an events firehose.
this parsing function returns None unless a message is
directed at the Bot, based on its ID.
"""
output_list = slack_rtm_output
if output_list and len(output_list) > 0:
for output in output_list:
if output and 'text' in output and AT_BOT in output['text']:
# return text after the @ mention, whitespace removed
return output['text'].split(AT_BOT)[1].strip().lower(), \
output['channel']
return None, None
```
The parse_slack_output function takes messages from Slack and determines if they are directed at our StarterBot. Messages that start with a direct command to our bot ID are then handled by our code - which is currently just posts a message back in the Slack channel telling the user to write some more Python code!
Here is how the entire program should look when it's all put together (you can also [view the file in GitHub](https://github.com/mattmakai/slack-starterbot/blob/master/starterbot.py)):
```
import os
import time
from slackclient import SlackClient
# starterbot's ID as an environment variable
BOT_ID = os.environ.get("BOT_ID")
# constants
AT_BOT = "<@" + BOT_ID + ">:"
EXAMPLE_COMMAND = "do"
# instantiate Slack & Twilio clients
slack_client = SlackClient(os.environ.get('SLACK_BOT_TOKEN'))
def handle_command(command, channel):
"""
Receives commands directed at the bot and determines if they
are valid commands. If so, then acts on the commands. If not,
returns back what it needs for clarification.
"""
response = "Not sure what you mean. Use the *" + EXAMPLE_COMMAND + \
"* command with numbers, delimited by spaces."
if command.startswith(EXAMPLE_COMMAND):
response = "Sure...write some more code then I can do that!"
slack_client.api_call("chat.postMessage", channel=channel,
text=response, as_user=True)
def parse_slack_output(slack_rtm_output):
"""
The Slack Real Time Messaging API is an events firehose.
this parsing function returns None unless a message is
directed at the Bot, based on its ID.
"""
output_list = slack_rtm_output
if output_list and len(output_list) > 0:
for output in output_list:
if output and 'text' in output and AT_BOT in output['text']:
# return text after the @ mention, whitespace removed
return output['text'].split(AT_BOT)[1].strip().lower(), \
output['channel']
return None, None
if __name__ == "__main__":
READ_WEBSOCKET_DELAY = 1 # 1 second delay between reading from firehose
if slack_client.rtm_connect():
print("StarterBot connected and running!")
while True:
command, channel = parse_slack_output(slack_client.rtm_read())
if command and channel:
handle_command(command, channel)
time.sleep(READ_WEBSOCKET_DELAY)
else:
print("Connection failed. Invalid Slack token or bot ID?")
```
Now that all of our code is in place we can run our StarterBot on the command line with the python starterbot.py command.
![Console output when the StarterBot is running and connected to the API.](https://www.fullstackpython.com/source/static/img/160604-simple-python-slack-bot/starterbot-running.png)
In Slack, create a new channel and invite StarterBot or invite it to an existing channel.
![In the Slack user interface create a new channel and invite StarterBot.](https://www.fullstackpython.com/source/static/img/160604-simple-python-slack-bot/create-channel.png)
Now start giving StarterBot commands in your channel.
![Give StarterBot commands in your Slack channel.](https://www.fullstackpython.com/source/static/img/160604-simple-python-slack-bot/working-starterbot.png)
There is one modification you may want to make if you're running into issues getting a response from the bot. As it is written above in this tutorial, the lineAT_BOT = "<@" + BOT_ID + ">:" requires a colon after the "@starter" (or whatever you named your particular bot). Remove the : from the end of the AT_BOT string. The Slack clients seem to add a colon after an @ mention but it seems somewhat inconsistent.
### Wrapping Up
Alright, now you've got a simple StarterBot with a bunch of places in the code you can add whatever features you want to build.
There is a whole lot more that could be done using the Slack RTM API and Python. Check out these posts to learn what you could do:
* Attach a persistent [relational database](https://www.fullstackpython.com/databases.html) or [NoSQL back-end](https://www.fullstackpython.com/no-sql-datastore.html) such as [PostgreSQL](https://www.fullstackpython.com/postgresql.html),[MySQL](https://www.fullstackpython.com/mysql.html) or [SQLite](https://www.fullstackpython.com/sqlite.html) to save and retrieve user data
* Add another channel to interact with the bot [via SMS](https://www.twilio.com/blog/2016/05/build-sms-slack-bot-python.html) or [phone calls](https://www.twilio.com/blog/2016/05/add-phone-calling-slack-python.html)
* [Integrate other web APIs](https://www.fullstackpython.com/api-integration.html) such as [GitHub](https://developer.github.com/v3/), [Twilio](https://www.twilio.com/docs) or [api.ai](https://docs.api.ai/)

# 如何运用Python建立你的第一个Slack Bot
[Bots](https://www.fullstackpython.com/bots.html) 是一种像 [Slack](https://slack.com/) 一样实用的互动聊天服务方式. 如果你之前从来没有建立过bot, 这篇文章提供了一个简单的用Python建立你第一个bot的关于 [Slack API](https://api.slack.com/) 集合的入门教程.
我们通过设置你的开发环境, 获得一个Slack API bot标记和我们用Pyhon编码的简单bot.
### 我们所需的工具
我们的bot, 我们将它称作为 "StarterBot", 它需要 Python 和 the Slack API. 然后运行我们需要的Python代码:
* [Python 2 或者 Python 3](https://www.fullstackpython.com/python-2-or-3.html)
* [pip](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/) 和 [virtualenv](https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/stable/) 处理 Python [应用程序依赖关系](https://www.fullstackpython.com/application-dependencies.html)
* 一个你可以拥有API访问和注册Slack Developer Hangout team](http://dev4slack.xoxco.com/)的[免费Slack账号](https://slack.com/)
* 通过Slack团队建立的官方Python [Slack客户端](https://github.com/slackhq/python-slackclient)代码库
* [Slack API 测试标志](https://api.slack.com/tokens)
这也是一个方便你建立本教程的有用[Slack API 文档](https://api.slack.com/)
对于本教程,所有的代码都是在[slack-starterbot](https://github.com/mattmakai/slack-starterbot)公共库里通过MIT许可证的可获得的开放源码.
### 搭建我们的环境
我们现在已经知道我们的项目需要什么样的工具因此我们要获得我们所建立的开发环境。首先到终端上或者用Windows上的命令提示符并且改变你想要存储这个项目的目录。在那个目录里创建一个新的virtualenv以便从其他的Python项目来隔离我们的应用程序依赖关系。
```
virtualenv starterbot
```
Activate the virtualenv 激活virtualenv:
```
source starterbot/bin/activate
```
你的提示现在应该看起来像在一个这样的截图里。
![Command prompt with starterbot's virtualenv activated 已经激活的starterbot's virtualenv的命令提示:](https://www.fullstackpython.com/source/static/img/160604-simple-python-slack-bot/virtualenv-activate.png)
这个官方的slackclient API帮助库是通过Slack可以发送和接收消息的Slack通道所建立的。安装slackclient库是通过这个pip命令:
```
pip install slackclient
```
当pip命令完成时你应该看到这样的输出和你将返回的提示.
![Output from using the pip install slackclient command with a virtualenv activated 在已经激活的virtualenv输出用pip安装slackclient的命令.](https://www.fullstackpython.com/source/static/img/160604-simple-python-slack-bot/pip-install-slackclient.png)
我们也需要从Slack项目获得一个访问提示因此我们的bot可以用它来连接这个Slack API.
### Slack实时消息传递RTMAPI
Slack同意程序通过一个 [网络应用程序API](https://www.fullstackpython.com/application-programming-interfaces.html)访问他们的消息传递通道. 去这个[Slack网络应用程序API页面](https://api.slack.com/) 并且注册建立你自己的Slack项目.你也可以通过一个你拥有管理权限的有效账号登陆.
![Use the sign in button on the top right corner of the Slack API page 在网络应用程序API页面的右上角使用登陆按钮.](https://www.fullstackpython.com/source/static/img/160604-simple-python-slack-bot/sign-in-slack.png)
然后你可以到[Bot用户页面](https://api.slack.com/bot-users)登陆.
![Custom bot users webpage 定制bot用户网页.](https://www.fullstackpython.com/source/static/img/160604-simple-python-slack-bot/custom-bot-users.png)
给你的bot起名为 "starterbot" 然后点击 “Add bot integration” 按钮.
![Add a bot integration named starterbot 添加一个bot integration并起名为“starterbot”.](https://www.fullstackpython.com/source/static/img/160604-simple-python-slack-bot/starterbot.jpg)
这个页面将重新加载你将看到一个新生成的访问令牌。你还可以将标志改成自定义设计。例如我给的这个“Full Stack Python”标志.
![Copy and paste the access token for your new Slack bot为你的新Slack bot复制和粘贴访问提示.](https://www.fullstackpython.com/source/static/img/160604-simple-python-slack-bot/slack-token.png)
在页面底部点击 "Save Integration"按钮. 你的 bot 现在已经准备好连接Slack's API.
Python开发人员的一个常见的做法是输出秘密令牌提示作为环境变量。输出的Slack令牌名字为“SLACK_BOT_TOKEN”.:
```
export SLACK_BOT_TOKEN='your slack token pasted here'
```
好了我们现在将被作为bot授权使用这个Slack API .
这个是一个更多的我们需要建立我们的bot的信息: 我们的bot的ID. 接下来我们将会写一个简短的脚本来从这个Slack API获得ID.
### 获得我们Bot的ID
这是最后一次写的一些Python代码! 我们将会在编译一个简短的Python脚本来获得StarterBot的ID时获得热身. 这个ID基于Slack项目而改变.
我们需要ID因为当消息被解析为从Slcak RTM在StarterBot上指导的他会允许我们的应用程序作出终止.我们的脚本也会测试我们SLACK_BOT_TOKEN环境变量是否设置正确.
建立一个新文件并命名为print_bot_id.py 并且填写下面的代码.
```
import os调用外部程序
from slackclient import SlackClient从slackclient调用SlackClient
BOT_NAME = 'starterbot'
slack_client = SlackClient(os.environ.get('SLACK_BOT_TOKEN'))
if __name__ == "__main__":
api_call = slack_client.api_call("users.list")
if api_call.get('ok'):
# retrieve all users so we can find our bot检索所有的用户以便我们可以找到我们的bot
users = api_call.get('members')
for user in users:
if 'name' in user and user.get('name') == BOT_NAME:
print("Bot ID for '" + user['name'] + "' is " + user.get('id'))
else:
print("could not find bot user with the name " + BOT_NAME)
```
当我们设置为一个环境变量时我们的代码调用于SlackClient并且为我们的SLACK_BOT_TOKEN而将它实例化. 当脚本通过pyhon命令执行时我们通过会访问Slack API列出所有的Slack用户并且获得匹配一个名字为"satrterbot"的ID.
我们仅仅需要运行一次脚本来获得我们bot的ID.
```
python print_bot_id.py
```
当它运行为我们提供我们bot的ID时脚本会打印出简单的一行输出.
![在你的Slack项目中用Python脚本打印Slack bot的ID.](https://www.fullstackpython.com/source/static/img/160604-simple-python-slack-bot/printed-bot-id.png)
复制脚本打印出的唯一ID.并将ID作为一个环境变量命名为BOT_ID输出.
```
(starterbot)$ export BOT_ID='bot id returned by script'
```
这个脚本仅仅需要运行一次来获得bot的ID. 我们现在可以使用这个ID在我们的Python应用程序中来运行StarterBot.
### 编码我们的StarterBot
我们通过我们拥有的一切来写我们需要书写的StarterBot代码. 创建一个新文件命名为starterbot.py ,它包括以下代码.
```
import os
import time
from slackclient import SlackClient
```
操作系统和SlackClient调用将会看起来很熟悉因为我们会使用它们在theprint_bot_id.py中.
在我们的依赖关系调用中我们可以使用它们获得环境变量值并且在Slack client中将它们实例化.
```
# starterbot's ID as an environment variable starterbot的ID作为一个环境变量
BOT_ID = os.environ.get("BOT_ID")
# constants 常量
AT_BOT = "<@" + BOT_ID + ">:"
EXAMPLE_COMMAND = "do"
# instantiate Slack & Twilio clients 实例化Slack和Twilio clients
slack_client = SlackClient(os.environ.get('SLACK_BOT_TOKEN'))
```
代码在我们的SLACK_BOT_TOKEN中将SlackClient client实例化并且作为一个环境变量输出.
```
if __name__ == "__main__":
READ_WEBSOCKET_DELAY = 1 # 1 second delay between reading from firehose 从firehose阅读间延迟1秒
if slack_client.rtm_connect():
print("StarterBot connected and running!")
while True:
command, channel = parse_slack_output(slack_client.rtm_read())
if command and channel:
handle_command(command, channel)
time.sleep(READ_WEBSOCKET_DELAY)
else:
print("Connection failed. Invalid Slack token or bot ID?")
```
Slack client连接到Slack RTM API WebSocketSlack RTM API 双向通信然后当解析信息来自firehose时会不断循环.如果任何这些消息都指向StarterBot那么一个被称作handle_command的函数会决定做什么.
接下来添加两个函数来解析Slack输出和handle commands.
```
def handle_command(command, channel):
"""
Receives commands directed at the bot and determines if they
are valid commands. If so, then acts on the commands. If not,
returns back what it needs for clarification.
"""
response = "Not sure what you mean. Use the *" + EXAMPLE_COMMAND + \
"* command with numbers, delimited by spaces."
if command.startswith(EXAMPLE_COMMAND):
response = "Sure...write some more code then I can do that!"
slack_client.api_call("chat.postMessage", channel=channel,
text=response, as_user=True)
def parse_slack_output(slack_rtm_output):
"""
The Slack Real Time Messaging API is an events firehose.
this parsing function returns None unless a message is
directed at the Bot, based on its ID.
"""
output_list = slack_rtm_output
if output_list and len(output_list) > 0:
for output in output_list:
if output and 'text' in output and AT_BOT in output['text']:
# return text after the @ mention, whitespace removed 在@之后提到返回文本,空格删除
return output['text'].split(AT_BOT)[1].strip().lower(), \
output['channel']
return None, None
```
parse_slack_output函数从Slack接受信息并且如果他们指向我们的StarterBot时会作出判断.消息通过给我们bot的ID一个直接命令启动然后交由我们的代码处理.-目前只是通过SLack管道发布一个消息回去告诉用户去多写一些Python代码!
这是整个程序看上去应该如何组合在一起 (你也可以 [在GitHub中查看文件](https://github.com/mattmakai/slack-starterbot/blob/master/starterbot.py)):
```
import os
import time
from slackclient import SlackClient
# 把 starterbot 的 ID作为一个环境变量
BOT_ID = os.environ.get("BOT_ID")
# constants 常量
AT_BOT = "<@" + BOT_ID + ">:"
EXAMPLE_COMMAND = "do"
# 实例化Slack和Twilio clients
slack_client = SlackClient(os.environ.get('SLACK_BOT_TOKEN'))
def handle_command(command, channel):
"""
Receives commands directed at the bot and determines if they
are valid commands. If so, then acts on the commands. If not,
returns back what it needs for clarification.
"""
response = "Not sure what you mean. Use the *" + EXAMPLE_COMMAND + \
"* command with numbers, delimited by spaces."
if command.startswith(EXAMPLE_COMMAND):
response = "Sure...write some more code then I can do that!"
slack_client.api_call("chat.postMessage", channel=channel,
text=response, as_user=True)
def parse_slack_output(slack_rtm_output):
"""
The Slack Real Time Messaging API is an events firehose.
this parsing function returns None unless a message is
directed at the Bot, based on its ID.
"""
output_list = slack_rtm_output
if output_list and len(output_list) > 0:
for output in output_list:
if output and 'text' in output and AT_BOT in output['text']:
# 在@之后提到返回文本,空格删除
return output['text'].split(AT_BOT)[1].strip().lower(), \
output['channel']
return None, None
if __name__ == "__main__":
READ_WEBSOCKET_DELAY = 1 # 1 second delay between reading from firehose
if slack_client.rtm_connect():
print("StarterBot connected and running!")
while True:
command, channel = parse_slack_output(slack_client.rtm_read())
if command and channel:
handle_command(command, channel)
time.sleep(READ_WEBSOCKET_DELAY)
else:
print("Connection failed. Invalid Slack token or bot ID?")
```
现在这是我们在这里所有的在命令行上通过python starterbot.py可以启动我们StarterBot的代码.
![当StarterBot开始运行而且连接到API的输出通道.](https://www.fullstackpython.com/source/static/img/160604-simple-python-slack-bot/starterbot-running.png)
在 Slack 中创建新管道并且把 StarterBot 添加进来,或者直接把 StarterBot 添加进一个已经存在的管道。
![在Slack界面创建一个新通道并且请求StarterBot.](https://www.fullstackpython.com/source/static/img/160604-simple-python-slack-bot/create-channel.png)
现在在管道中启动 StarterBot。
![在你的Slack通道里给的StarterBot命令.](https://www.fullstackpython.com/source/static/img/160604-simple-python-slack-bot/working-starterbot.png)
当你从bot得到的响应中遇见问题时这是你一种可能你想去做的修改.正如上面所写的这个教程其中一行AT_BOT = "<@" + BOT_ID + ">:",在"@starter"后需要一个冒号或者任何你自己所命名的特定bot.移除这些从AT_BOT结束后的字符串.Slack clients似乎需要在@一个人名后加一个冒号,但这好像是有些不协调的.
### 结束
好吧你现在已经获得一个简易的你可以在代码中很多地方加入你想创建任何特性的StarterBot.
这里有很多你可以使用的Slack RTM API 和 Python.看看通过这些文章你还可以学习到什么:
