Number6 Deployment Parameters

• SlackChannel - this is Slack’s id for the channel that Number6 will post its results to.
  • The simplest way to find this is to log into your workspace through a browser, create a new channel (recommended rather than posting to an existing one) then go to the channel
  • the URL will look something like https://app.slack.com/client/T03QK2077/C03QK207F the final path parameter is the channel id (C03QK207F in this case)
• BlacklistedChannels - this is a single CSV string of channel names (not ids e.g. meta,announcements,trumptweets) that shouldn’t be analysed by Number6
  • This is useful if you have channels with just bot traffic or something similar where it doesn’t make sense to perform any semantic analysis.
  • You’ll probably want to include Number6’s output channel in this.
• SlackTokenSecretName - the is the name used to store the Slack OAuth token in AWS Secrets Manager that you created earlier
• EnvType - this must be either prod or test the difference is that creating a prod stack will run Number6 at 1am every day analysing the previous day’s messages. If you create a test stack then Number6 will only ever run when manually triggered and analyse the messages from whatever date you give it
