System Block Diagram
Overview
This is an illustration of the command flow between each component of VibeCheck. The system is Slack-specific, having users interact in Slack. Slack Bolt app handles routing and command events, the chatbot core runs business logic, and MongoDB persists activity and analytics.
System Flow
Users communicate with VibeCheck through Slack. Slack delivers message events and slash commands through Socket Mode/Web API flows. The chatbot processes commands, schedules prompts, selects prompt content, generates responses, sends messages back to Slack, and stores activity data in MongoDB.
