I am trying to build a phabricator bot that sends messages to jabber chat members whenever there are new stories in phabricator. I know what the other fields in the bot configuration json file mean. I want to know what the "join" and "notification.channels" field signify. I looked at the documentation but these two fields have not been explained. The default value in the example_config.json are
"join" : [ "#phabot-test" ],
"notification.channels" : ["#phabot-test"]
分享 These settings relate to IRC - Internet Relay Chat. IRC is a chat system that's been around for years. As well as private messaging between users, it also supports chat rooms. On IRC, chat rooms are called channels; you can join and part a channel to enter or leave it. Channel names start with a # sign.
The join setting is a list of channels to join when the bot starts. The notification.channels is a list of channels where the bot should announce events. Often this will be the same list, as in your example, but you might want the bot to sit quietly in a channel & be available to answer questions.
There's some more documentation about setting up a Phabricator chat bot in the Phabricator docs.
