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. Note that currently this project requires meteor 1.6

   curl https://install.meteor.com/?release=1.6 | sh

2. Clone this repository

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

5. Using the settings.json.example file as a guide, create a settings.json file and populate the missing fields:

   • For smoochSecretKey and smoochKeyId: You need an account level key, found under https://app.smooch.io/account. (If your smoochKeyId has an app_ prefix, it won't work)

   • The smoochAppId can be found in your app's settings page.

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.
