How do I setup a Foodsby Slack Bot?

With Foodsby's integration for Slack, you can:  See a list of the restaurants delivering to you each day.  Customize when reminders get posted in your channel.   See the list in real-time by asking the bot “what’s for lunch?”

How to add the Foodsby Slack bot to your Slack workspace: 

  1. Be sure you have a Foodsby.com account with the same email address as your Slack account (if you do not have an account, go here to sign up). 
  2. Click here to install the Foodsby App. 
  3. From there, sign into your Slack workspace to install the App. 

Once Foodsby has been installed in your Slack workspace, use the following commands to interact with the bot:

  • Invite the bot to a channel by typing @Foodsby or clicking "Add an app" in the channel settings
  • Use /daily to set or customize reminders notifying the channel of the daily lunch options. For example:
    • /daily 8:30 am will set a daily reminder for 8:30 am
    • /daily stop will cancel all reminders for that channel
  • Ask @Foodsby What's for lunch? to get today's lunch options on-demand, without scheduling a reminder
  • Say help to the bot if you ever forget these commands!
