This entire bot was designed as described in this tutorial : ** restaurantOrganizer **

This repository contains 2 slack bots to help organizing lunch time.

• restaurantOrganizer : creates groups and designate a friend in charge of booking the restaurant.
• pizzaOrganizer : creates a list gathering all pizza requests of your friends to help.

Those bots are freely inpired from this tutorial : https://www.fullstackpython.com/blog/build-first-slack-bot-python.html (This tutorial also helps you understanding what virtualenv is useful for...)

To use the bot you need to install slackclient (via pip for instance) : pip install slackclient

• Launch bot deamon :

---

From a terminal : python restaurantorganizer.py API_TOKEN --waiting_time 20 python pizzaOrganizer.py API_TOKEN --waiting_time 20
