This bot uses a Gist to store that previous state of an App and be able to know when it changes.
Create an empty gist here and use the ID of the gist later on in the configuration.
GitHub does not allow empty Gist. First create a file with some content and remove it afterwards with an update.
This bot needs to have access to GitHub for multiple reasons:
- read/write the Gist previously created
- auto commit on a branch to avoid inactivity
Create an access token here with the repo and gist scopes.

Auto Commit runs by default once a day.
It pushes an auto_commit file containing the current date to a branch named auto-commit.
It can be configured by changing the commit.yml file.
Get App Store Info runs by default every 15 minutes.
It retrieves the gist data, then uses the App Store Connect API to read the current states of every configured app. If there is a difference between the gist stored data and the current API data a message will be sent to Slack via the Webhook and the new state stored in the Gist.
It can be configured by changing the info.yml file.
