🚀 Feature: Add Slack command bot templates

[Haimantika]

Appwrite Functions allow you to extend and customize your Appwrite server functionality by executing your custom code. 🤩 You can learn more at our official Appwrite Functions docs.

What you’re building

Your task is to implement the Slack command bot in Node.js.

Slack apps can be created to handle / commands by making an HTTP request to an API endpoint. The Slack command bot should be a template to handle basic Slack command bot actions following their API specifications. The behavior of the Slack bot should be similar to our Discord bot and act as a basic Hello world! type application.

The starter commands should be simple, but the code should be architected in a way that allows developers to customize and expand the commands supported. Make sure to follow our contributing guide.

Tasks summary:

• Fork & clone Appwrite's templates repository
• Create a branch feat-implement-slack-command-bot-node
• Write code for the function in folder node/slack-command-bot/.
• Test the function using Appwrite, provide a video.
• Write a README.md explaining what the function does, how to use it, and customize it. Here is an example.
• Submit a pull request to our templates repository

If you need any help, contact us on our Discord server.

@Haimantika A Few Doubts,

• Since slack doesn't have a api to create commands i don't need to work on that
• I need to create a appwrite function that will trigger the command on slack right ? and this is what i need to show in the video
  Thanks
