Slack and it's open-source cousin Mattermost enterprise messengers that allow for efficient team communication. Both messengers share a common API that allows ]project-open[ to send and receive messages.
This package currently deals with the following scenarios:
After creating a new (main-) project, the ]project-open[ server will use the Slack API to create a new channel. By default, the channel will be named after the project_nr of the project, but it may be changed afterwards.
New users will be added automatically to Slack channels after they have been added to a project.
Through the ]project-open[ chat bot, ]po[ receives a copy of all project communication. The bot stores each chats as standard ]po[ forum topics. Forum topics are searchable by default, allowing to quickly retrieve important communication.
]po[ sends notifications about important events to project channels, including the completion of tasks, tasks running late etc. Each PM can define which events are sent to the channel.
A number of "slash commands" allow users to perform transactions directly from within Slack or Mattermost:
We will extend this list according to user requests. Please [contact|contact us] if you have a special use-case.
The ]po[ Slack integration is currently only available in English. It employs a simple but efficient NLP engine based on a case grammar and semantic roles in order to process a wide variety of language variants in a robust way, employing maximum entropy optimization in a second step.
Please see HowTo Write a NLP Chat-Bot developer documentation about the architecture and the underlying NLP technology of the ]po[ - Slack integration.
The package is currently under development. Please contact us (and include "slack-integration in the request) for details.
You can install the Slack integration package using the following commands (assuming the ]po[ V5.0.x VMware with CentOS 7):
# su - projop
# cd ~/packages
# cvs checkout intranet-slack
After this, please go to /acs-admin/apm/ -> "Install Package", select intranet-slack, click "-> Next" and restart your server as suggested.
After this, please go to Admin -> "Slack Integration" and follow the instructions in order to setup an integration with your Slack or Matermost instance.
The package is released under a dual-license as "GPL V3 or higher" open-source software, and using a commercial license. Please contact us for details.
