# RocketChat

> Build a Rasa Chat Bot on Rocketchat

## Getting Credentials

**How to set up Rocket.Chat:**

1. Create a user that will be used to post messages, and set its
   credentials at credentials file.
2. Create a Rocket.Chat outgoing webhook by logging in as admin to
   Rocket.Chat and going to
   **Administration > Integrations > New Integration**.
3. Select **Outgoing Webhook**.
4. Set **Event Trigger** section to value **Message Sent**.
5. Fill out the details, including the channel you want the bot
   listen to. Optionally, it is possible to set the
   **Trigger Words** section with `@yourbotname` so that the bot
   doesn't trigger on everything that is said.
6. In the **URLs** section, set the URL to
   `http://<host>:<port>/webhooks/rocketchat/webhook`, replacing
   the host and port with the appropriate values from your running Rasa server.

For more information on the Rocket.Chat Webhooks, see the
[Rocket.Chat Guide](https://docs.rocket.chat/docs/integrations).

## Running on RocketChat

Add the RocketChat credentials to your `credentials.yml`:

```yaml theme={null}
rocketchat:
  user: "yourbotname"
  password: "YOUR_PASSWORD"
  server_url: "https://demo.rocket.chat"
```

Restart your Rasa server
to make the new channel endpoint available for RocketChat to send messages to.
