To install

Requires node.js and npm

Install via npm:

To set up and run

First, set up a bot user on your team and get an API token from Slack. Make sure to /invite safebot to any channel where it might be used!

Then, create a file in the project's root directory (safebot/) called tokens.js with the following code (replace "YOUR_API_TOKEN_HERE" with your API token)

module.exports = {
    botToken: "YOUR_API_TOKEN_HERE"
};

Then start with

npm start

Hop over to your Slack and start messaging!

Message commands

Anonymous safebot messages work with direct messages. That means that if you @mention safebot in a channel, that message will be posted to the channel.

Ask a channel to migrate their conversation

migrate #from-here #to-there

Safebot will post in #from-here:

<- #to-there

Send a channel an anonymous message

tell #channel i said hi

Safebot will post in #channel:

i said hi

To-do:

Automatically add safebot to existing and future channels
Log usernames instead of user IDs
Functionality to keep a list of requested content warnings, and a specific command for cws
