Configuration

This adapter uses the following environment variables:

• HUBOT_SLACK_TOKEN - this is the API token for the Slack user you would like to run Hubot under.
• HUBOT_SLACK_BOTNAME - this is only for the karmabot leaderboard, it was required for earlier Slack Hubot integrations.
• HUBOT_HEROKU_KEEPALIVE_URL - keepalive

To add or remove your bot from specific channels or private groups, you can use the /kick and /invite slash commands that are built into Slack.
