This app is built with Node and Express, and comes ready to go for Heroku deployment.

Other modules used are the body-parser middleware for express and request for simplified HTTP requests. You can also check out the Slack API and the Buffer API documentation for more information.

• client_id
• client_secret (you'll receive this by email)
• access_token

redirect_uri is required to set up the app, however, you won't be in need of that for the slash command.

const PROFILE_IDS =
{
  'service': ['username']
};

A little explanation how it works:

• the app makes a request to the Buffer API for the list of profiles you have.
• the app will then search for service, then username in the packet that was received. It'll get the corresponding id for use in the API request.
• the service values are an array, so just add the usernames of any profile for that service. For example, if you have two Twitter profiles you'd like to post to, add 'twitter': [ 'handle1', 'handle2' ] to the object.

Once you've done that and deployed the code, take note of the URL to your app in Settings. (should be an https URL). This is also where your Config Vars are located, so plug those Buffer credentials in there.

You'll use the Heroku URL at set up, with the "/command" route at the end. (ex: https:// yourapp.herokuapp.com /command) Also take note of the access token it gives you, and go back to your Config Vars in the Heroku settings and plug it in.
