Translations: en en en

Description

Day 3, R2 11:30–12:00

Today, there are many tasks to repeat in the company/community. In addition, we often use chat such as Slack for daily communication. So, I created a chatbot([PyCon JP Bot](https://github.com/pyconjp/pyconjpbot)) to automate various boring tasks related to holding PyCon JP.

In this talk, I will first explain how to create a chatbot using [slackbot](https://github.com/lins05/slackbot). I will tell you how to registers bot's integration on Slack and how to create a simple bot in Python that responds to specific keywords.

And as a specific case, I will explain how to make a bot command to perform the following operations and technical problems.

  • Emoji reaction
  • Calculator: SymPy
  • Karma(plusplus): Peewee
  • 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
  • etc.
