Slack bots are fun and pretty easy to build! We're running one on an rpi at the office which monitors our #travis channel for failed builds and then powers a revolving light for a couple seconds :)
Small nitpick, the author should've used the `@slack/client` package though, `slack-node` is old and unmaintained.
- finaliteration 8y agoNice! I built something similar for AWS CodeBuild and ECS where we get channel notifications when builds start/succeed/fail and when ECS tasks start or die. It also shows who made the commit and what it relates to by pulling info from GitHub. I haven’t gone the flashing light route quite yet but I’ve considered it. Or maybe a loud noise directed at the developer who submitted the commit that caused the build to fail.
