hubot-gtalk

A Hubot adapter for Gtalk

Gtalk is the Jabber-based instant messaging service provided by Google.

You should report any issues or submit any pull requests to the GTalk adapter repository.

Getting Started

You will also need to edit the package.json for your hubot and add the hubot-gtalk adapter dependency.

"dependencies": {
  "hubot-gtalk": ">= 0.0.1",
  "hubot": ">= 2.0.0",
  ...
}

Then save the file, and commit the changes to your hubot's git repository.

If deploying to Heroku you will need to edit the Procfile and change the -a campfire option to -a gtalk. Or if you're deploying locally you will need to use -a gtalk when running your hubot.
