Overview of Slack Bot

Slack Bot APIs offer powerful and flexible ways to automate repetitive tasks
and integrate workflows from various services. With the help of these APIs, it
is possible to develop Slack bots capable of exiting and entering specific
channels as well as performing various actions requested from users.

A Slack bot can be used to automate specific tasks and carry out routine admin
jobs such as checking the team’s working time, organizing team meetings,
managing customer inquiries and so on. These bots can be programmed to inform
the members of the team when tasks are completed. Some of the examples of what
you can create using the Slack Bot APIs are:

  • Automated reminders
  • Productivity and time tracking
  • Data analysis and processing
  • Internal communication releases
  • Integrations with external tools and services
  • Conversation and inquiry management
  • Automation of customer service
  • Scheduling and tracking of tasks
  • Personalised customer recommendations

I'm going to build a workflow that will search Twitter every hour for a keyword. It will take the results, format them nicely, and then email it.

Normally I don't like to blog about stuff that isn't generally available to all, but as it will be available sometime soon, I decided to go ahead anyway. And I built something really cool I want to share so that's another reason to talk about this now!
