Isabelle is a Slack bot for discovering events in the Hack Club Slack. It provides an easy way for SAD members to add events to the Hack Club events website, members to find events and RSVP to event.
Run /create-event
in the Hack Club Slack! If you're an authorised member (in the private SAD channel), you'll be shown a modal to fill out the event details. Once you submit the form, the event will be submitted for approval in a private channel.
Once the event is approved, it will be added to the Hack Club events website.
To run the bot locally, you'll need to set up a Slack app and will need access to the Airtable base. You'll need to set the following environment variables:
