(Unnamed Project)

TODO: Name this project as soon as possible.

The primary purpose of this project is to perform the following tasks:

1. Receive analyst reports via email every morning (AWS SES).
2. Extract PDF files (the actual reports).
3. Extract text from those files and summarize it (http://tldr.kr).
4. Upload the summary along with the original PDF to a private Slack channel.

Receiving emails with AWS SES

In order to receive email messages via AWS SES, a user-owned domain name must be provided. Refer this document for more details.

I've set up a TXT record and an MX record on my domain, as directed in the AWS console.

AWS Lambda

We use Apex in order to manage AWS Lambda functions.
