Pix Bot helps developers and teams who host their applications on Scalingo to manage them pragmatically and economically.
It offers the following services:
- create a Review App;
- shut down and restart Review Apps, at the time you want, every day of the week;
- deploy a specific release into production via a secured API;
- deploy a specific release into production via a Slack command or shortcut;
- call external service after a deployment (CDN invalidation).
Pix Bot is deployed into two apps:
- Pix Bot Build: contains the commands for the development tools
- Pix Bot Run: contains the commands related to the releases

Check if the default template fit your needs. If not, create a custom one in the folder.
Generate a secret and store it in .envfile GITHUB_WEBHOOK_SECRET variable.
Start the server.
npm start
Expose it.
ngrok http 3000
Create a webhook on Github organization (or repository) :
- Payload URL = https://.ngrok.io/github/webhook
- Content type: application/JSON
- secret = <GITHUB_WEBHOOK_SECRET>
- SSL verification = Disabled
- Which events would you like to trigger this webhook? send me everything
Perform some action on Github and check
- ngrok receive Github request
- pix-bot API process them
If you want to test your new endpoint before deploying it, you will need to run your server locally and make it visible (with ngrok for example).
Add your new slash command to the corresponding manifest: ./{run,build}/controllers/manifest.js.
Go to https://api.slack.com/apps, and create a new slack app, and create it from a manifest. The manifest is available a {ngrok_url}/{run,build}/manifest.
Go to http://localhost:3000/slackviews to test and debug slack views.
Pix Bot has a Slack command that allow to release itself:
/deploy-pix-bot [patch|minor|major]
This command will create a tag, a release commit and deploy the applications Pix Bot Build and Pix Bot Run.
