You are going to need a new Slack bot user. You can create a new one for your Slack account here. This will provide you with your Slack API Token.
Your Particle access token secures the cloud function so only you can call it. Learn how to generate one here.
You can find your Particle device id under the "devices" menu of the Particle IDE.
Rename config.secret.example.js to config.secret.js and fill in the credentials with your own.
