2022 FIRST Championship Slack Bot

[jaredhk]

Introducing a Slackbot for the 2022 FIRST Championship

Features/usage

• Send /cmp frc1234 to receive info about team 1234
• Find the team name, division name, method of qualification, and current status (quals/playoff record) about teams

Hopefully coming soon

• Pit locations (currently only accessible via the guidebook app, which gives me a headache. Will add this if they put the locations somewhere easier to extract)
• Send invalid response if asking about an invalid team
• Anything else helpful from the TBA, FIRST, or Division Notifier APIs folks suggest I include

Installation

Click the button or direct link below. You’ll need to be authorized to allow apps in your Slack workspace

Direct link: https://slack.com/oauth/v2/authorize?client_id=82351862178.3399295042534&scope=commands&user_scope=

Does it work?

I’m not sure. I test it, like once…so good luck Let me know if you have issues/suggestions/comments!

Thanks/How it works

• @forbes and FRC Division Notifier API
• The Blue Alliance API

Installation seems like it’s doing some funky redirect stuff. Standby if you’re having issues.

Edit 1: Slack dramatically increased the complexity of distributing apps since the last time I did this. I don’t know that I have time to figure this out right now, so please let me know if you’re experienced with deploying an app on Slack with Oauth and all that fun stuff.
