Executable tutorial - Week 6: Software bots (April 26)

Description

Slack (https://slack.com/) is a popular communication platform that widely used in the industry. Like many other platforms, Slack supports the use of bot to perform different actions and tasks, such as sending a message in a channel whenever an event occurs.

In this tutorial, I would like to show how to write and deploy a Slack bot that can

• Reply to a @mention message
• Make a HTTP request to query the usage of some services, for example, querying the total number of issues and pull requests of a repository on GitHub
• Send a message in a channel whenever there is a merge/pull request made in GitHub
