Zulip Errbot integration

Install errbot, and follow the instructions to set up a config.py.

Clone the Errbot integration package for Zulip repository somewhere convenient, and install the requirements listed in errbot-backend-zulip/requirements.txt.

Create a bot for Errbot. Make sure that you select Generic bot as the Bot type.

Edit your ErrBot's config.py. Use the following template for a minimal configuration:

import logging

BACKEND = 'Zulip'

BOT_EXTRA_BACKEND_DIR = r'<path/to/errbot-backend-zulip>'
BOT_DATA_DIR = r'<path/to/your/errbot/data/directory>'
BOT_EXTRA_PLUGIN_DIR = r'<path/to/your/errbot/plugin/directory>'

BOT_LOG_FILE = r'<path/to/your/errbot/logfile.log>'
BOT_LOG_LEVEL = logging.INFO

BOT_IDENTITY = {
  'email': '<your-bot@email.address>',
  'key': '<api-key-of-your-bot>',
  'site': '<your-zulip-organization-url>'
}
BOT_ADMINS = ('<your@email.address>',)
CHATROOM_PRESENCE = ()
BOT_PREFIX = '@**<your-bot-name>**'

Sections you need to edit are marked with <>. Replace the <...> placeholders with your own values, removing the < and > brackets.

Use the details of the Zulip bot created above for the BOT_IDENTITY and BOT_PREFIX sections.

Start ErrBot.
