coffeebot

Welcome to CoffeeBot, an automated coffee order retrieval application using the Slack API!

What it does

Run coffeebot locally to automatically collect coffee orders from your team via your Slack worksapce. A message will be sent to the channel named "coffee" in your workspace (must already exist). Users then have 15 minutes to invoke the slash command /coffee followed by their order. After 15 minutes, a file named orders.txt will appear in the coffeebot/ directory with the list of orders, ready to be sent to the coffeeshop!
