PlusBot

An replica of Etsy's original plusbot.

!! NOTE BEFORE PROCEEDING !!

I (@linzjax) have a confession to make. I did my best to get this set up with Primary specific login information (faunadb, cloudflare, slack). However, I hit a blocker: cloudflare was returning a 302 error code for some reason, and I honestly couldn't spend anymore time on it.

As a result, all of this information lives in my personal accounts... I know I know I'm sorry. However, if one day I've won the lottery and am off living my best life, please contact me and I will do my best to work with you to transfer all of the records to whatever system works best for y'all so that you don't lose the plus records.

Sincerly, Lindsey

Breadcrumbs

Things that I've learned along the way:

• @slack/web-api uses axios, which is incompatable with cloudflare workers.
• worktop, though convenient, does not use traditional request objects, so standard operations like .clone() are not available, making it incompatable with @sagi.io/workers-slack 's verifyRequestSignature function.
• Itty-router only parses requests that come in with application/json. Slack sends application/x-www-form-urlencoded
