"Slack API Tester" -- rename

[GildedHonour]

When I post a message to a channel, it posts it under the name "Slack API Tester". How can I setup it up or rename?

Create a Slack App and authorize it to your Organization's Slack. Creating the App will let you naming it, etc. (Authorizing your App will generate a Token, use that in Slacker)

When using slacker.chat.post_message() pass the arugment as_user = True to send it from yourself, or username = "foobar" to set the username.
