Adapter: Campfire

Campfire is the web based chat application built by 37 Signals. The Campfire adapter is one of the original adapters in Hubot.

Getting Started

First you will need a Campfire account, you can sign up for a free account.

Next you will need to create an account on Campfire for your Hubot and allow it to connect to your rooms.

To use the Campfire adapter you will need to specify campfire as the option to the -a flag when running hubot. If you're deploying to Heroku you will need to make sure the -a option is followed by campfire in the Procfile.
