"Beep Boop" :-D I love that name and design! I always balk at adding more bots to slack, it's always yelling at me as it is now. I know what bots are and I've written some integrations, but I'd love to see an example on there. "For example here's a bot on Beep Boop that does this super useful thing"
The most useful bot that we use internally is a deployment automation bot that orchestrates deployments and scaling in Amazon ECS. We are working to generalize and open source that bot.
In general, I think that bots on Slack will be boom or bust, but it's clear that Slack as a platform and Slack integrations are one of the key things that make the product special and successful. We'd like to give developers the best shot at making bots successful and useful in Slack.
Here is a super simple weather bot example that you can try if you want to see what the Beep Boop user experience is from the consumer side:
Interesting, we've tried very hard to make Beep Boop a 1st class experience on mobile. The login is through Slack which has worked well in all of our testing on mobile. I'd love to see what you're seeing. Email hello@beepboophq.com if you could. Thanks for checking it out!
We completely rely on Slack's authentication. Once you sign-up you should receive an invite to the BeepBoopHQ Slack team and you need to log in with the Slack account. After you're able to login you can add additional slack user/team combinations under settings and then log in through that team via the Slack auth flow.
I cannot log in with slack, I confirm slack team, and authorize access, redirects to home and nothing. Try it again, exactly the same thing. Disabled adblocker, same thing.
Also, I was expecting to receive an email invite to your Slack team. That hasn't happened.
...you should get an invite, and then will be able to login with the BeepBoopHQ team. As you launch bots into different teams, you can then login with any of those teams.
Sorry about the confusion! There are some constraints we're working around with the way Slack supports authentication and "adding" integrations. They have been great partners, and we're working with them to improve this.
So like Brad mentioned, signup and then you should see the Slack invite to the BeepBoopHQ team and then you can log in with your BeepBoopHQ team user. After than you can associate other user/teams under settings and then log in from accounts in those teams as well. If you get stuck, please reach out in Slack or to hello@beepboophq.com. Thanks for the feedback!

Well that sucks :/
