You need to create a wolfram app id (the core of the program to work)

1. Create a wolfram alpha account or sign in here
2. Create an App Id here (only when you signed in)
   1. Click Get an AppID and enter your Application Name and Description
   2. Copy the APPID and paste to WOLFRAM_APP_ID in config.ini

Because the program will run on Slack so you need to get slack api token to able to communicate.

Slack is a collaboration hub for work, no matter what work you do. It’s a place where conversations happen, decisions are made, and information is always at your fingertips. With Slack, your team is better connected.

1. Go to api.slack.com

2. Create a new Slack Applications or use your old Slack App (this project only add one slash command to your bot).

3. Copy Vertification Token and paste to SLACK_VERTIFICATION_TOKEN in config.ini

4. Go to Slash Commands

   1. Click Create New Command and fill out the form then save.

5. Go to OAuth & Permissions

   1. Select Send messages as [app's name] under Scopes and click Save Changes

   

   1. Click Install App to Workspace on the very top of the page and authorize your app to communicate with your slack's workspace.
   2. When successfully authorized, it will redirected back to your app page. Copy OAuth Access Token and paste to SLACK_BOT_TOKEN in config.ini.

   

Now you will able to run the program with python

The example of what config.ini should look like: How to run ?

$ python main.py --help

optional arguments:
  -h, --help         show this help message and exit
  -p, --production   Run the program in production mode
  -d, --development  Run the program in development mode

 * Restarting with stat
 * Debugger is active!
 * Debugger PIN: 232-100-363
 * Running on http://127.0.0.1:3000/ (Press CTRL+C to quit)

since slack's app doesn't allow slash commands to use local url like http://127.0.0.1:3000 as Request Url please use ngrok to generate public url.

$ ngrok http 5000
