===== Slack Bot With Bolt =====

**Within the Slack website**

Go to api.slack.com , go to "Your Apps", and "Create App".

Enable Socket Mode, and in token add "connections::write".

In the OAuth and Permissions tab, add the Bot Token Scopes. If you change these later, you will need to re-install the app to the workspace.

Install to workspace.

Event Subscriptions need to be enabled.

(Sidenote: There's an alternate navigation flow in my notes - from the "Add Apps", "Bots", "Add to Slack". I do not remember the context now.)

**Coding**

Install the needed libraries with: "pip install slack_bolt aiohttp"

Then, use this code:

<code python>
from slack_bolt import App
from slack_bolt.adapter.socket_mode import SocketModeHandler

app_token = "from basic info path"
bot_token = "from oauth section"

app = App(token=bot_token)
handler = SocketModeHandler(app, app_token)

@app.event("app_mention")
def handle_mention(event, client, say):
    client.reactions_add(
        channel = event["channel"],
        timestamp = event["ts"],
        name = "eyes"
    )
    print(say)
    print(event)

handler.start()
