Inspiration
Getting deals and a review requires using multiple apps. I wanted to build an app that does both. Also, making it a bot will make the service instant and direct.
What it does
Given a city, state and type of deal the bot will return a deal and a review from yelp about the business holding that deal.
How I built it
Using heroku to host a website that holds all of the logic for the bot and getting my data from lesserthan and yelp API.
Challenges I ran into
I started with Slack bot and ran into a load of trouble, eventually switching to Messenger. Also, connecting a review to the correct deal was a challenge as well.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Having a working demo.
What I learned
Bot building.
What's next for Messenger Deal Bot
Add more features in order to get as many deals as possible.
