Group Lunch Bot

A ReadyTalk Bot Month adventure.

Overview

This bot is designed to be a place to create a lunch group for anyone (Anonomously) to meet and grab lunch somewhere.

Assumptions

• You have sufficient rights in your Slack team to configure a bot and generate/access a Slack API token.

Usage

npm install
SLACK_TOKEN=<YOUR_SLACK_TOKEN> npm start

Things are looking good if the console prints something like:

** BOT ID:  witty  ...attempting to connect to RTM!
** API CALL: https://slack.com/api/chat.postMessage

Run locally in Docker
