Add `/welcome` post + Channel Name To Post Welcome Message in a Specific Channel #2

Closed BethanyG closed 6 years ago

BethanyG commented 6 years ago

It would be nice to have the ability to re-post the welcome message in #start_here - or any other channel that needs it, on demand. I think this is going to require:

  1. Formatting the welcome message & the Code of Conduct as Slack Posts, minus the [accept] button (we have them - they just need to be formally formatted and put in the repo as assets).
  2. Ability to parse out a channel name in the welcome command, if it exists in the message sent from Slack
  3. New endpoint functionality for the post command to have the message sent as a Slack Post and not the DM-style message.
  4. Change to the message sending logic, so that having a channel name triggers a message post to the specified public Channel ID instead of the DM Channel ID.

I have some experience in slack posting. I can try to do it in the weekend.
