A Facebook Messenger bot that serves as the interface between a server that handles auctions and the user. This is part of a hackathon project for ATX Hack for Change 2016.
What is AuctionBot?
AuctionBot makes fundraising for non-profits and charities fun and easy via a very simple, addicting user experience.
Warning: Although this bot works, it still needs development. This repo is for illustrative and educational purposes. It is provided it as is, with no guarantee that it will work in your machine, environment, setup, or use case.
After cloning this repo to your machine, install all npm dependencies.

This bot serves as an interface between the user and a server that handles all auctions. You would still need to develop it. A good example is the backend developed for this hackathon project: auctionbot-back
After you have all your environment variables, your auction server running and your bot subscribed to the Facebook Page via a webhook, just run npm start and AuctionBot will be live!
