Python Slack Bot Tutorial #2 - Handling Events (Events API)

In this python slack bot tutorial we will learn how to handle events from our slack bot using the slack events api. The slack events api will allow for us to subscribe to events and be informed when slack events occur. We will use flask to retrieve and handle these events.

Hi Tim! Thanks for the tutorial! Its super clean!

Id like to share one thing. This method not works on Private Channel.
Here is the extra:
1. *Event Subscriptions* > *Subscribe to bot events* > *Add Bot User Event* > add *message.groups*
2. Required Scope is *groups:history* but it will be autoadd in *Bot Token Scopes*
3. *Reinstall to Workspace*

And it works well

I apologize for the possible rudeness, but! I do not understand damn how such a nice young man can explain so beautifully, clearly. having the skills of adult teachers (explaining slowly and with patience) is a talent ... just bravo, and thank you very much for your work, bro.

Thank you. Great Tutorial! Just wanted to know, How can we send direct message to a user?

[BenjaminDenverstone]

Can't wait to get into Python. I have to wait until June 2021. I still have to learn more JavaScript, DOM, React, REST, Cypress.io, etc. I'm starting with Scope and Closures in JavaScript Monday.

for anyone that has had the problem
Your URL didn't respond with the value of the challenge parameter.
make sure you have no local firewall blocking connections out or in

Amazing bro. Your're doing amazing

Issue with "challenge" when submitting the URL from ngrok
I've tried to find a solution but nothing.
But after disabling AirPlay Receiver in System Preferences > Sharing and then restarting the laptop, it eventually worked.
I am on a Macbook M1 MAX Monterey 12.4

[chinmaykulkarni]

I was trying to find - how can we handle callbacks? Thanks to you!

[TechWithRushabh]

Hey Tim, Great Tutorial. I wanted to know how you actually figured things out? like how u know ngrok how you know about the payload. Documentation ?

[rishaditya]

Thanks a lot for the super clear explanation!

Why do you need to use the slack_event_adapter for setting the route, when you are already setting the route in the event subscription page in slack docs
