Configuring Permissions in Slack

Before you can run the Slack GPT Bot, you need to configure the appropriate permissions for your Slack bot. Follow these steps to set up the necessary permissions:

1. Create Slack App
2. Go to your Slack API Dashboard and click on the app you created for this bot.
3. In the left sidebar, click on "OAuth & Permissions".
4. In the "Scopes" section, you will find two types of scopes: "Bot Token Scopes" and "User Token Scopes". Add the following scopes under "Bot Token Scopes":
   • app_mentions:read: Allows the bot to read mention events.
   • chat:write: Allows the bot to send messages.
5. Scroll up to the "OAuth Tokens for Your Workspace" and click "Install App To Workspace" button. This will generate the SLACK_BOT_TOKEN.
6. In the left sidebar, click on "Socket Mode" and enable it. You'll be prompted to "Generate an app-level token to enable Socket Mode". Generate a token named SLACK_APP_TOKEN and add the connections:write scope.
7. In the "Features affected" section of "Socket Mode" page, click "Event Subscriptions" and toggle "Enable Events" to "On". Add app_mention event with the app_mentions:read scope in the "Subscribe to bot events" section below the toggle.

Usage

1. Start the bot:

python slack_gpt_bot.py

2. Invite the bot to your desired Slack channel.
3. Mention the bot in a message and ask a question (including any URLs). The bot will respond with an answer, taking into account any extracted content from URLs.
