slackBotExample

This Val processes incoming appointment emails and publishes a job (via Upstash QStash) to our dashboard backend.

• Source: email.ts parses subject/body to extract patient, firstApptTime, firstApptProvider, and an optional reviewUrl.
• Publish: Sends a JSON payload to https://outreach-dashboard.vercel.app/new-pt (via QStash publish URL). Our Next.js App Router handles POST /new-pt to insert an outbox row and kick off Slack outreach.
• Cancel path note: The code defines a CANCEL_URL, but no /cancel route exists in this repo yet.
• Reliability: QStash ensures delivery and retries; our app’s outbox workflow is idempotent.

• Edit code locally in this folder.
• Publish changes: pnpm vt:push:slack-bot

Notes

• vt push is forceful (no confirmation). To undo, revert in Val Town UI, then pull.
• If outbound network is restricted, vt -h/vt push may warn about upgrades; re‑run when connected.
