This bot isn't really useful for anyone besides employees at AdmitHub.
This bot is triggered by a slash command /timeoff, which opens a Slack dialog
to get data to fill into the PDF form. Some Python code fills in a PDF and
uploads it to the channel.
# install dependencies

# start the slack bot web server
poetry run python -m timeoff.webDeployment uses zappa which is a wrapper around AWS Lambda. See the Zappa documentation for info on setting up an environment.
When you first deploy you'll get a health check error because we need to configure the environment variables for the lambda function to include the app token.
# setup an environment for the first time
poetry run zappa deploy dev
# redeploy an environment
poetry run zappa update dev
# view logs
poetry run zappa tail dev
