PostEvent

¶ ↑

PostEvent allows users to post an event once and have it communicated through multiple channels:

* Meetup
* Google Calendar
* Twitter
* Email
* Eventbrite (not currently tested)
* Wordpress (not currently tested)

It also supports integration with Slack such that once the integration is installed Slack users can type /postevent in Slack and they will automatically be logged into PostEvent. (see api.slack.com/slack-apps for implementation details).
