Golang REST API Slack Bot Tutorial | Create a Slack App | Part I

In this introductory video, I discuss what we will be covering in this series, and I walk you through the creation of a Slack application and Slack Bot User Token. In the next video, we will write a simple Go program that posts a message to a Slack channel in our Slack workspace as a Slack Bot User.

In this series we will implement a specific use case for a Slack bot, formatted as the following user story: As a developer, I want to be notified via Slack when my build completes, so that I don’t have to go check my Pull Request or Jenkins for the status

Acceptance Criteria:
Slack bot user is created
Slack bot user is triggered as a post-build action in a Jenkins pipeline and publishes a notification to a Slack channel that the build has completed
The published notification should include job name, build number, build result, and a direct link to the build
