There are then two cases:

• You want your bot to react to events happening directly in Slack
• You want your bot to react to events happening on your server

Below you’ll find my Server.Js file: This server is a blank page, showing and processing nothing. You’ll then need a slack App: just follow this link to create one. The Controller is the brain of your Bot. It contains every skill and configuration.

If we want our Bot to react to a simple message like "Hi", we have to give slack an address to send the information to.
