Go to your Slack team. Create a Slack bot and retrieve your bot token. For the bot's general operations, you should use the bot's token.

If you need to do more restricted things like "message deletion", and depending on your Slack team's settings, you can additionally provide the test token of an admin's account if they agree to share this with you.

$ export VOTEBOT_TOKEN='your_slack_bot_token' # Use for deployment bot
$ export VOTEBOT_TOKEN_DEV='your_slack_bot_token' # Use for development bot
$ export VOTEBOT_TOKEN_TEST='your_slack_bot_token' # Use for testing bot
