I use slack for a lot of notifications too. We strapped a python chatbot on as an integration and gave the bot access to our product which made asking the bot what's happening really easy.

Chatops are catching on, and I'm intrigued. Thanks for the response!

Hey, feel free to checkout my library on GitHub. Its goal is to simplify interacting with Slack API (which is amazing IMO) and let users focus on simply writing their bot.

Its still very much in development, but figured this thread was relevant enough for me to post a link.

Hah. I went to college with you. Small world. Will check out your library, I've been doing a lot of work with chatbots over the last year, focused on Slack. I've only really been working with Java solutions though, so a python library is a nice change of pace.

Thanks for the link!

Oh hey man! Please do, feel free to use it in its current state, but the dev branch will be merged to Master shortly and break current compatibility.

Its a sweet simple library to make slack bots real simple!
