Expect things to change as I work on this. This app contains a gem that is powered by Giphy. It's your responsibility to get a production API if you want to use this fully. Otherwise switch out the gem and change the gif service.

Small Sinatra app to host webhook services for slack.com

Easiest to host on heroku.

You'll need to set two environment variables once you've deployed in order for the services to work.

heroku config:set BASE_URL=beach.slack.com
heroku config:set TOKEN=dsahjd7321dal92

The token represents the incoming webhooks integration token that you'll get when you set it up.

Add your endpoint to app.rb and create your service under /services make sure to inherit from BaseService.

You can use SlackParams and SlackBot to help. SlackParams is just a simple wrapper around the params that come with each message to the server from slack.com and can be used in your service.
