+# Example: Classify an Image posted in Slack with Leonardo
+
+A function is triggered by an image upload to a Slack channel. The function receives an event about the image upload. It then invokes the __`SAP Leonardo`__ image classification API with the image and waits for the response. The response itself contains a prediction about the possible content of the image. The function then posts the prediction to the channel. 
+
+## Requirements
+
+* A Slack application, for example within a test workspace, is required.
+The Slack application should define a bot user and be subscribed to the __`file_shared`__ bot event.
+Bot events are used, because image classification should be limited to channels where the bot user is invited.
+
+
+## Deployment
+First, create a deployment file to provide credentials.
+Run inside the project directory:
+```bash
+faas-sdk init-values -y values.yaml
+```
+Update the generated file:
+* An api key for the image classification can be obtained at [Leonardo image classification overview](https://api.sap.com/api/image_classification_api/overview).
+* Also specify the Slack bot user token.
+
+And finally, deploy the project :
+```bash
+ xfsrt-cli faas project deploy -y ./deploy/values.yaml -v
+```
+
+## Configure Slack Endpoint
+Go to the Configuration UI of your Slack application, navigate to __`Event Subscriptions`__ and toggle __`Enable Events`__. Configure the HTTP trigger URL as the corresponding slack bot event request endpoint URL.
+The HTTP trigger URL can be retrieved from:
+```
+xfsrt-cli faas project get slack
+```
+The `artifacts` array contains an object with the URL in its `name` property (and a `reference` to HTTP trigger `slack-handler`)
+
+## Test
+Install the Slack application to your workspace. In Slack, create a channel. Invite the bot to your channel.
+Click on the attachment upload button inside the channel, select an image of your choice and upload it.
+As a response, you should get an `SAP Leonardo` powered probability estimation of what is contained in the image.
