slack

• [new] add includeBotMessages option for interacting with bot_message (#635):

// bottender.config.js

module.exports = {
  // ...
  slack: {
    enabled: true,
    path: '/webhooks/slack',
    accessToken: process.env.SLACK_ACCESS_TOKEN,
    verificationToken: process.env.SLACK_VERIFICATION_TOKEN,
    includeBotMessages: true, // add this line
  },
};

Then you can use context.event.isBotMessage to determine if the event is a bot message event:

module.exports = function App(context) {
  if (context.event.isBotMessage) {
    console.log(context.event.rawEvent.botId);
  }
};
