The Gupshup Proxy Bot enables you to quickly test bots built using the Gupshup.io bot-building platform. Gupshup.io is an advanced bot-builder that enables you to quickly and easily build cross-platform bots. It consists of tools that support the entire bot lifecycle - across build, test, deploy, track and analyze stages. Once you build a bot using the Gupshup.io platform, you can instantly test it in Slack using the Gupshup Proxy Bot. The Proxy Bot understands the command "proxy <botname>". When it sees this command, it becomes a proxy for the bot: <botname>. Any message sent by the user to the Proxy Bot is forwarded to <botname>; and the reply from <botname> is sent back by the Proxy Bot to the user. For a quick demo, try "proxy pizza". Eventually, when your bot is ready for deployment, you will have to go through the official Slack process to get the bot listed in the App Directory.
