Our first Tallinn meetup starts with the topic of building Slack integrations.
We are glad to present you the speakers of this event:
• Access to the open source of the new lunch-special bot from Pipedrive
• Learn how to build an employee management chatbot on Slack with Owais Afaq, CTO of Mikaels Labs
We'd also like to hear from you about which topic you'd like to hear from us in the next meetups.

18. A few quick ways to get on with development faster
● tail -f a log file that records your payload coming from Slack
● Also log response for requests made to Slack API to understand issues
● Use Tester for API calls so that you can see that your token and request
params are okay
● Use https://api.slack.com/tools/block-kit-builder to create more advance
messages for users to interact with
● Slack documentation is amazing, read it thoroughly
