The way I'd approach this would be something like this:

- Set up a cron job to check the real-time API for changes to your referrers

- when a new referrer is detected, talk to Slack via their WebHooks integration service

You could use Google's App Engine (and Scheduled Tasks with Cron for Python) for the cron job, https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/python/config/cron

Thanks for the response. totally agree that it's quite possible and with AppEngine it would be pretty easy. The reason I was asking here was to see if someone had already built it.
