Building a Slash command on Google App EngineApp EngineSlack slashsupport SSL with a valid certificateSSL for custom domainsfree tierGo on App EnginePythonJava¹PHPslash command samplegit clone https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/slack-samples.git
cd slack-samples/command/1-custom-integrationSlash Commandhttp://your-machine:8080/quotes/randomgoapp serve --host=0.0.0.0 with your Cloud Platform project ID in the following command and run:

goapp deploy -application ./

If you want to publish your command to be used by more than one team, you'll need to create a Slack App. This will give you an OAuth Client ID and Client secret. Plug these values into the config.go file of the App sample and deploy in the same way to get an "Add to Slack" button.
