Setting up the application on Slack

You can setup the Slack app using the app manifest (the easier way) or manually.

Using app manifest

Create a new app on Slack and import the app_manifest.yml configuration.

Make sure to update the following configs:

• url: update host and port with the your deployment
• request_url: update host and port with the your deployment

Change any other information based on your preference for eg: slash commands etc.
