Conversation

Usage

There are some environment variables that are expected. Use .env.example to see what these are. Either ensure they are available or copy and complete into a .env file which will automatically be read.

Other Teams

In theory, this chat bot can be re-purposed to work with other teams by instantiating rugbybot with one of the following team names:

  • northampton saints
  • exeter chiefs
  • saracens
  • bath rugby
  • leicester tigers
  • wasps
  • sale sharks
  • harlequins
  • gloucester rugby
  • newcastle falcons
  • bristol rugby
  • worcester warriors

Production

This bot is running in production on IBM Bluemix and can be spoken to or invited to a telegram group chat. The username is "bathrugby_bot".

The first request may be slow as Drop22 is on a Heroku free dyno so will take a second to boot up.

Development
