# Nephthys
This is a Slack template for creating a great Slack app using Python and Starlette.
## Prerequisites
- Python (3.13 or later)
- uv
- A Slack workspace where you have permissions to install apps
- Tunneling tool (for local development)
## Setting up the Slack App
1. Go to [https://api.slack.com/apps](https://api.slack.com/apps) and click "Create New App".
2. Choose "From an app manifest" and select your workspace.
3. Copy and paste the manifest in `manifest.yml`, replacing `YOUR_URL` with your URL (we'll set this up later):
4. Review and create the app.
5. In the "Basic Information" section, note down the `App Id`, `Client Id`, `Client Secret`, `Signing Secret` .
6. Go to "OAuth & Permissions" and install the app to your workspace. Note down the "Bot User OAuth Token".
## Setting up the Project
1. Clone the repository:
```
git clone https://github.com/your-repo/slack-template.git
cd professor-bloom
```
2. Install dependencies:
```
uv sync
source .venv/bin/activate # for bash/zsh
source .venv/bin/activate.fish # for fish
source .venv/bin/activate.csh # for csh
source .venv/bin/activate.ps1 # for powershell
```
3. Copy the `.env.sample` file to `.env`:
```
cp .env.sample .env
```
4. Edit the `.env` file and fill in the values:
```
PORT=3000
ENVIRONMENT="development"
SLACK_BOT_TOKEN="bot-token"
SLACK_SIGNING_SECRET="signing-secret"
SLACK_APP_TOKEN="app-token" # This is optional - recommended to use socket mode in dev because it allows you to run the app locally without needing to tunnel. Not recommended for production.
SLACK_HEARTBEAT_CHANNEL="channel-id"
```
Replace the values with your actual parameters.
## Running the Application
1. Start your tunneling tool and expose the local server. (Not needed in socket mode with `SLACK_APP_TOKEN` set)
Note the HTTPS URL you get.
2. Update your Slack app's request URLs:
- Go to your Slack app's settings.
- In "Event Subscriptions" and "Interactivity & Shortcuts", update the request URL to your HTTPS URL followed by `/slack/events`.
- In "OAuth & Permissions", update `Redirect URLs` to your HTTPS URL followed by `/slack/oauth_redirect`.
3. Start the application:
```
app
```
Your Slack app should now be running and connected to your Slack workspace!
