CodeBuddies Slack app that presents an Welcome message when a new user joins the Slack Team.

The user can accept our Code of Conduct using message buttons. If a user has been presented with the Code before & they haven't accepted, a background job can send them a reminder DM after a specific period of time. Eventually you can use the SCIM API to disable the user's account.

Additionally, the same welcome message can be sent as a /welcome command.

Other (upcoming) functionality will include a /resources command to send resource links to users, & automatic channel welcomes.
