Botkit is designed to ease the process of designing and running useful, creative bots that live inside messaging platforms. Bots are applications that can send and receive messages, and in many cases, appear alongside their human counterparts as users.
5
+
Once you add `@RSS` to a channel in your Slack Workspace, it
6
+
will listen for any links that are posted.

-
Some bots talk like people, others silently work in the background, while others present interfaces much like modern mobile applications. Botkit gives developers the necessary tools for building bots of any kind! It provides an easy-to-understand interface for sending and receiving messages so that developers can focus on creating novel applications and experiences instead of dealing with API endpoints.
8

When a user posts a link, they will be asked if they want to
9
+
add that link to the RSS Feed for that channel.

Our goal with Botkit is to make bot building easy, fun, and accessible to anyone with the desire to create a future filled with talking machines!
11

Each channel that `@RSS` is in will get it's own RSS Feed.

#### Set up your Slack Application
43
-
Once you have setup your Botkit development enviroment, the next thing you will want to do is set up a new Slack application via the [Slack developer portal](https://api.slack.com/). This is a multi-step process, but only takes a few minutes.
44
-
45
-
*[Read this step-by-step guide](https://botkit.ai/docs/provisioning/slack-events-api.html) to make sure everything is set up.
46
-
47
-
* We also have this [handy video walkthrough](https://youtu.be/us2zdf0vRz0) for setting up this project with Glitch.
48
-
49
-
Update the `.env` file with your newly acquired tokens.
50
-
51
-
Launch your bot application by typing:
52
-
53
-
`node .`
54
-
55
-
Now, visit your new bot's login page: http://localhost:3000/login

### Extend This Starter kit
61
-
62
-
This starter kit is designed to provide developers a robust starting point for building a custom bot. Included in the code are a set of sample bot "skills" that illustrate various aspects of the Botkit SDK features. Once you are familiar with how Botkit works, you may safely delete all of the files in the `skills/` subfolder.
63
-
64
-
Developers will build custom features as modules that live in the `skills/` folder. The main bot application will automatically include any files placed there.
65
-
66
-
A skill module should be in the format:
67
-
68
-
```
69
-
module.exports = function(controller) {
70
-
71
-
// add event handlers to controller
72
-
// such as hears handlers that match triggers defined in code
73
-
// or controller.studio.before, validate, and after which tie into triggers
74
-
// defined in the Botkit CMS UI.
75
-
76
-
}
77
-
```
78
-
79
-
### Customize Storage
80
-
81
-
By default, the starter kit uses a simple file-system based storage mechanism to record information about the teams and users that interact with the bot. While this is fine for development, or use by a single team, most developers will want to customize the code to use a real database system.
82
-
83
-
There are [Botkit plugins for all the major database systems](https://botkit.ai/readme-middlewares.html#storage-modules) which can be enabled with just a few lines of code.
84
-
85
-
We have enabled our [Mongo middleware]() for starters in this project. To use your own Mongo database, just fill out `MONGO_URI` in your `.env` file with the appropriate information. For tips on reading and writing to storage, [check out these medium posts](https://botkit.groovehq.com/knowledge_base/categories/build-a-bot)
