-
- ### Environment
-
- #### SLACK_API_TOKEN
-
- Set SLACK_API_TOKEN from the Bot integration settings on Slack.
-
- ```
- heroku config:add SLACK_API_TOKEN=...
- ```
-
- #### GIPHY_API_KEY
-
- The bot replies with animated GIFs. While it's currently not necessary, you may need to set GIPHY_API_KEY in the future, see [github.com/Giphy/GiphyAPI](https://github.com/Giphy/GiphyAPI) for details.
-
- #### SLACK_RUBY_BOT_ALIASES
-
- Optional names for this bot.
-
- ```
- heroku config:add SLACK_RUBY_BOT_ALIASES=":pong: table-tennis ping-pong"
- ```
-
- ### Heroku Idling
-
- Heroku free tier applications will idle. Either pay 7$ a month for the hobby dyno or use [UptimeRobot](http://uptimerobot.com) or similar to prevent your instance from sleeping or pay for a production dyno.
