Let's get started!
First, setup a slash command in Slack. You can do that here: https://slack.com/apps/A0F82E8CA-slash-commands
You'll install the slash comamnds "app" to your slack account. Once you've got that setup, continue below.
Ok now that it's installed, setup a slash command.
We're going to use /tonic as our prefix here. Use the following values:
command: /tonic
url: https://tonicdev.io/matt/56aa6f873c22eb0d00bb37c0/branches/master/tonic
method: POST
var tonicExpress = require("notebook")("tonic/express-endpoint/1.0.0")
// Just provide the exports object to the tonicExpress helper
var app = tonicExpress(module.exports)
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false }));
// when someone types /tonic in slack, it'll hit this endpoint and return "Hey!"
app.post("/tonic", (req, res) => {
switch (req.body.text) {
case "help":
res.send("Help is on the way!");
break;
default:
res.send("Hey!");
break;
}
});
Want to see how to use it? Run the cell below (shift+return):

This is really great for prototyping slack slash comands. No deploying necessary – Give it a shot!
