Slack OAuth Demo with a Simple Bot

A simple Slack app (slash command) demo that repeats what you say after a command, /echo.

Sure, this sounds like a useless demo, but the poupose of this example is to show how to implement an OAuth flow to distrubite your app with these steps:

1. Add an Slack OAuth button on your website
2. GET to authorize with correct scopes queries
3. Obtain an Access Token
4. Use the token to call Slack APIs

Try this OAuth demo on Glitch!
