Create Interface for Integrations

I'm thinking each group will get it's own API key.

Services can then:

POST https://api.fastchat.io/v1/group/integration?apikey=awsomekey HTTP 1.1
{
  "name": "bot",
  "text": "some text here that will show up in the group convo...",
}

FastChat will lookup the APIKey for the group, and send the message to the correct place. ApiKeys can be regenerated if any service refuses to stop sending messages.

The FastChat Server will monitor groups for commands sent to any bot/integration. Only those messages will be forwarded to the service via an HTTP call.

{
  "group": "groupidhere",
  "text": "Message text to the integration",
  "from": "useridhere"
}

This provides a safe, secure, and easy way for integrations to listen in to conversations without them tracking the entire conversation. It is up to the integration to parse and handle the message text.
