Customization of Discobot

[Marvin_Wattiau]

Hi guys,

I have a little question about discobot, i searched a way to create a discourse bot who replied to a keyword with a pre-recorded answer.

Example :

@Bot bonus

answer a message defined randomly.

Could be possible with discobot ? or need to create a new bot ? And how do it ?

Thanks guys

This isn’t currently possible with discobot itself but you can create a bot using Hubot for this purpose, I built a Discourse adapter for it:

Hubot Adapter for Discourse

I built a Hubot adapter for Discourse. https://github.com/featheredtoast/hubot-discourse-adapter This should work moderately well for communities that desire bot integrations. There are a few gotchas (see the readme) but for the most part it has been pretty incredible to tinker with so far. Something my community desired was a dice roller, which I knew existed as a hubot plugin. While there have been other attempts at integrating dice rollers into discourse, if I was going to run a bot agains…

Thanks @featheredtoast i’ll be thinking about this possibilty but JS isn’t my favourite language and i’m not sure to be though confident to success in this mission
