Listen for bot messages too

[krystof-k]

In Slack receiver, messages sent by other bots are not recognized. It should be able to listen for bot_message event.

It'd be great if anyone could add it.

@krystof-k it's fixed in 0.9.1, I initially used this to detect messages coming from the bot itself (preventing a endless circular effect), now I'm using the bot name.

Thanks for the feedback

[krystof-k]

Cool. Thanks!

I had to revert it, skipping the messages with subtype bot_message is the only way to to detect echo messages from the bot itself (removing it will cause endless loop), I reverted until I can find a better way

[krystof-k]

That's a pity :( Thanks for info!

One idea would be to check the bot's ID after connecting to the service (bot.info) then check all incoming messages for subtype = "bot_message" and bot_id != self.id
