voting bot for slack

Votey McVoteface

I'm a slack bot that lets you vote on stuff with your team.

Here's how to install this on your own Slack:

1. Run this code somewhere. You'll need that URL, obvs.
2. Create a slack app at https://api.slack.com/apps/
3. Make a Bot User (you should check the "Always Show My Bot Online")
4. In the Event Subscription Section:
   • Turn it on
   • for Request URL, it will be https://YOURAPPURL/slack/receive/ -- when you add this, it should say "Verified"
   • Subscribe to BOT events *** NOT WORKSPACE EVENTS *** You'll want message.im message.channel message.groups message.mpim
   • Save
5. In Interactive Components:
   • Turn it on
   • URL is the same as the events URL https://YOURAPPURL/slack/receive/
   • Save
6. OAuth & Permissions
   • Redirect URL is the URL https://YOURAPPURL/oauth
   • Save
7. Install App to Workplace
8. When you auth and install successfully — you should get a message FROM the bot
