FAQ

How do I get a token?

1. Go on your team’s Slack URL, and on the “Integrations” page, search for the “bots” integration. If your team is e.g. foobar, the URL is https://foobar.slack.com/services/new/bot.
2. Choose a name for your bot. Don’t worry, you can change it later.
3. Your token is on the bot page.

How do I get the bot to report stars to me?

The bot works with a whitelist, not to annoy everybody by default. Send it a private message saying “enable”, and it should enable the reporting for you.

You can later disable this by sending it “disable”.
