Building Vozo Bot

Today I created my first Slack bot called Vozo Bot using Node.js and Slack Bolt.

What I worked on:

• Set up a Slack App and enabled Socket Mode

• Created custom slash commands:

  • /vozo-ping
  • /vozo-help
  • /vozo-joke
  • /vozo-catfact

• Tested all commands in Slack

• Uploaded the project to GitHub

• Applied for and received a Nest container

• Deployed the bot to Nest and configured it with systemd so it runs 24/7

Next steps:

• Add more features and improve responses
• Continue testing and polishing the bot
