Occasionally posts URL of tweets from timeline

Open sillygwailo opened this issue 9 years ago • 3 comments

Every now and then, the app will think that a Twitter URL posted by the Slack bot is a message to be posted to Twitter from the channel. It is not supposed to post any bot messages whatsoever.

It doesn't seem to happen when a person deletes a tweet or undoes a retweet.

This seems like it's related to having the bot invited to multiple channels. Having kicked it it out all but one channel, this hasn't cropped up again. I'll give it a couple of more days before adding instructions to only invite the bot to one channel.

I'm currently getting around this by having two channels, one for the timeline, and another for posting. There may be an interest in doing away with the posting channel and instead using DMs, but I like the idea of having a 'public' channel so we can see who from a team tweeted something.
