Create a slackbot to welcome newcomers.
Introduction
CCExtractor is a tool to extract subtitles/closed captions from video streams. It's used by universities for research purposes, as well by regular users that want to extract captions from various formats.
The task
We generally hang out on Slack. Last GCI, we implemented a self invite system so that anyone can invite themselves to the Slack group, which hopefully you should have joined by now.
Your task is to create a bot on Slack that sends a direct message to the newcomer who join the Slack group. This is an easy task and you'll find couple of implementations online, you just have to choose any one, set it up and demonstrate to us it works.
Requirements to complete this task
We expect a working bot, with a small write-up how you did everything.
