Topic: Automate the Boring Stuff with Slackbot.

Today, we have many repetitive tasks in the company/community. In addition, we often use chat such as Slack for daily communication. Hence, Takanori created a chatbot(PyCon JP Bot: https://github.com/pyconjp/pyconjpbot) to automate various boring tasks related to holding PyCon JP.

In this talk, Takanori will first explain how to create a chatbot using slackbot (https://github.com/lins05/slackbot). He will show you how to register bot’s integration on Slack and how to create a simple bot in Python that responds to specific keywords.

And as a specific case, he will explain how to make a bot command to perform the following operations and handle technical problems:
– Emoji reaction

– Search issues, display issue details: JIRA API
– Create multiple issues from a template: JIRA API, Sheets Spreadsheet API
– Search files from Google Drive: Google Drive API
– Account management of G Suite(user, alias, group and member): G Suite API
