Protocols
Slack
To deploy your go-bot to Slack, you need to:
- Create a new bot user integration on Slack and get your token
- Import the package
github.com/go-chat-bot/bot/slack
- Import the commands you would like to use
- Call
slack.Run(token)
Here is a full example reading the Slack token from the SLACK_TOKEN
env var:
package main
import (
"os"
"github.com/go-chat-bot/bot/slack"
_ "github.com/go-chat-bot/plugins/catfacts"
_ "github.com/go-chat-bot/plugins/catgif"
_ "github.com/go-chat-bot/plugins/chucknorris"
// Import all the commands you wish to use
)
func main() {
slack.Run(os.Getenv("SLACK_TOKEN"))
}
IRC
To deploy your own go-bot to IRC, you need to:
- Import the package
github.com/go-chat-bot/bot/irc
- Import the commands you would like to use
- Fill the Config struct
- Call
irc.Run(config)
Here is a full example:
package main
import (
"github.com/go-chat-bot/bot/irc"
_ "github.com/go-chat-bot/plugins/catfacts"
_ "github.com/go-chat-bot/plugins/catgif"
_ "github.com/go-chat-bot/plugins/chucknorris"
// Import all the commands you wish to use
"os"
"strings"
)
func main() {
irc.Run(&irc.Config{
Server: os.Getenv("IRC_SERVER"),
Channels: strings.Split(os.Getenv("IRC_CHANNELS"), ","),
User: os.Getenv("IRC_USER"),
Nick: os.Getenv("IRC_NICK"),
Password: os.Getenv("IRC_PASSWORD"),
UseTLS: true,
Debug: os.Getenv("DEBUG") != "",})
}
To join channels with passwords just put the password after the channel name separated by a space:
Channels: []string{"#mychannel mypassword", "#go-bot"}
Telegram

env var:
package main
import (
"os"
"github.com/go-chat-bot/bot/telegram"
_ "github.com/go-chat-bot/plugins/catfacts"
_ "github.com/go-chat-bot/plugins/catgif"
_ "github.com/go-chat-bot/plugins/chucknorris"
// Import all the commands you wish to use
)
func main() {
telegram.Run(os.Getenv("TELEGRAM_TOKEN"), os.Getenv("DEBUG") != "")
}
Rocket.chat
To deploy your go-bot to Rocket.chat, you need to:
- Import the package
github.com/go-chat-bot/bot/rocket
- Import the commands you would like to use
- Call
rocket.Run(config)

_ "github.com/go-chat-bot/plugins/catfacts"
_ "github.com/go-chat-bot/plugins/catgif"
_ "github.com/go-chat-bot/plugins/chucknorris"
)
func main() {
config := &rocket.Config{
Server: os.Getenv("ROCKET_SERVER"),
Port: os.Getenv("ROCKET_PORT"),
User: os.Getenv("ROCKET_USER"),
Email: os.Getenv("ROCKET_EMAIL"),
Password: os.Getenv("ROCKET_PASSWORD"),
UseTLS: false,
Debug: os.Getenv("DEBUG") != "",
}
rocket.Run(config)
}
Google Chat
To deploy your go-bot to Google Chat (also known as Hangouts Chat, not plain Hangouts) you will first need to follow documentation to setup pub/sub project in Google Cloud. This will enable your bot to receive messages even when it is behind a firewall.
Condensed, the steps you will need to take are as follows:
- Create new project in google cloud console
- ID of the project will be used in Config.PubSubProject
- Create service credentials for this project
- Path to downloaded credentials file should be in env variable GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS
- Choose "Pub/Sub Editor" role for the credential
- Enable Pub/Sub API in cloud console
- Create new topic in the Pub/Sub (say "google-chat")
- Use the value of "Topic Name" (not "Topic ID") for Config.TopicName (e.g. /project//topics/)
- Modify permissions on created topic so that "[email protected]" has Pub/Sub Publisher permissions
- Enable hangouts chat api in Cloud Console
- Go to hangouts chat API config in the Cloud Console and fill in info
- Connection settings - use Pub/Sub and fill in topic string you created above
Config.SubscriptionName should be unique for each environment or you'll not process messages correctly. If you encounter issues make sure your credentials are correct and permissions for topics/queues are set up correctly.
Config.WelcomeMessage is sent each time the bot joins a new room or private chat.
Full example is here:
package main
import (
"os"
"github.com/go-chat-bot/bot/google-chat"
_ "github.com/go-chat-bot/plugins/godoc"
_ "github.com/go-chat-bot/plugins/catfacts"
_ "github.com/go-chat-bot/plugins/catgif"
_ "github.com/go-chat-bot/plugins/chucknorris"
)
func main() {
googlechat.Run(&googlechat.Config{
PubSubProject: os.Getenv("HANGOUTS_PROJECT"),
TopicName: os.Getenv("HANGOUTS_TOPIC"),
SubscriptionName: os.Getenv("HANGOUTS_SUB"),
WelcomeMessage: os.Getenv("HANGOUTS_WELCOME"),
}
