Code for San Jose On Boarding Slack Bot

Description

I began following this tutorial posted by Slack: https://api.slack.com/best-practices/blueprints/new-user-notification And ended up forking this project https://github.com/slackapi/template-terms-of-service

The onboarding-slack-bot's goal is to automate the Code for San Jose onboarding process as much as possible.
