• Necessary config vars for launching the two commands : DATABASE_URL, SLACK_BASE_URL, SLACK_TOKEN - ask a project member to give it to you
• The commands can be launched from the Heroku console, as well as locally.

Two main commands and one endpoint : sync_slack_users, send_reminder and save_user_answer

1. sync_slack_users command

• This command gets the list of all workspace users from Slack API and create the missing users in DB.
• It is meant to be launched every time before triggering the send_reminder command, on a daily basis.

2. send_reminder command

• This command scans the DB to find all the users who have not answered "yes" to question "Have you already filled the Skills Form?", and sends them a message with this question.
• This should be triggered every day, as a reminder for people to fill the form.

3. DB update on user answer

• The endpoint save_user_answer is called by the Slack API when people answer the question by clicking "YES" or "NO", to save this answer in DB
