SmoochDesk

A sample business system built with Meteor and the Smooch API.

Intended use: This code is a proof of concept and is not meant to be used in production. It should be used as a reference only to create your own implementation.

How do you run this?

1. Install meteor

curl https://install.meteor.com/ | sh

2. Clone this thing

git clone https://github.com/smooch/smooch-desk.git

3. In the smooch-desk directory, run npm install and meteor npm install

4. Configure a webhook:

Configure a Smooch webhook to send "All Triggers" to your smoochDesk app at the "/hook" route

5. Configure your secret keys and appId

You'll need a managed account secret key which you can obtain from https://app.smooch.io/account. The key ID should have a act_ prefix.

Using the settings.json.example file as a guide, create a settings.json file that contains your appId, secret key, key ID, and appId. You can find the appId by looking at the identifier in the URL shown in your browser's address bar when you are viewing a Smooch app (ex: https://app.smooch.io/apps/APP_ID/overview)

6. Run it:

meteor --settings settings.json

You can visit "/web-messenger" to send test messages as an end-user

Based on Meteor Slack

This project's structure and UI is based on work done by [@timbrandin] as part of his Meteor Slack project. Substantial changes have been made since to repurpose the project for use as a Smooch "business system" example. As such, this code is made available under the GPL.
