Yahoo Fantasy Bot Save Abandoned
Bot that alerts GroupMe, Discord, and Slack users about various things happening in their Yahoo Fantasy Sports league.
THIS REPO HAS BEEN ARCHIVED AND IS NOT BEING ACTIVELY MAINTAINED ANYMORE. IT WAS A FUN 4 YEARS, BUT I DON'T USE YAHOO FANTASY ANYMORE AND SADLY DON'T HAVE THE TIME TO SUPPORT IT. THANKS EVERYONE FOR USING IT!
Note: Frontend does not work in safari (v3.0.0)
Feel free to contribute!
Current Roadmap
- Kotlin (because why not :?)
- Reactive X
- Docker Support
- More in depth messages
- Respond to chat commands from various messaging services
- Clean up code
Auto-deploys do not happen automatically. You will need to come back and click the "Deploy" button again to get the latest bot. It will reset everything. Just follow all the steps again and you will be good!

Create your bot. GroupMe does a good job explaining what each thing is.
After you have created your bot you will see something similar to this. Click "Edit"
This page is important as you will need the "Bot ID" on this page.You can also send a test message with the text box to be sure it is connected to your chat room. Side note: If you use the bot id depicted in the page you will spam an empty chat room so not worth the effort
(Optional) Slack setup

If you don't have one for your league already, create a new League Channel

Select the Incoming Webhooks section on the side.
Change the toggle from Off to On.

Heroku Setup

- Click "Open App" at the top right
- Follow the setup
- Once you are authorized you can add all types of alerts for your league!
- IMPORTANT: Once done adding alerts, Click "Configure Dynos" and turn OFF the "web" dyno (failing to do this will put your bot to sleep because of heroku policy, thus your bot will not function.)
You are all set! Enjoy the bot!
