This is starter code for making a python slackbot that uses python's slackclient package based on the slack RTM API.
Before anything else, you should have python (version 3 or later) installed along with pip, a python package manager. You will need to run the following command in order to run the bot:
$ pip install slackclient
First you need to create a new slack app. Then add it to the slack space you wish to use it in (for the case of this workshop, please add it to slackbothaven). Make sure to add a bot user before trying to install the app to your workspace.
Get the Bot User OAuth Access Token after installign it and run the following command in your cloned directory:
$ SLACK_BOT_TOKEN="xoxb-xxxxxxxxxxx-yyyyyyyyyyy-zzzzzzzzzzz" python ./slack-bot.py
Test that your bot is working by @ing it.
