slack-daily

It's a chat bot built on the Hubot framework. It was initially generated by generator-hubot, and configured to be deployed on Heroku to get you up and running as quick as possible.

When activated it starts a virtual daily meeting, calling one by one the members of the team to tell the others what they have done, what they'll work next and if there's something preventing them from reaching the team's goal.

It can be activated by sending daily time or making a get request to its /hubot/daily endpoint and the daily will start at the daily-review channel.

Running slack-daily Locally

You can test your hubot by running the following, however some plugins will not behave as expected unless the environment variables they rely upon have been set.

You can start slack-daily locally by running:

% bin/hubot

Configuration

The bot runs out of the box with default configurations of the box, but you can set some environment variables to customize it:

• HUBOT_WAKE_UP command to start a daily (defaults to daily-time)
• HUBOT_WAKE_UP_PATH path to start a daily (defaults to /hubot/daily)
• HUBOT_NEXT message when you're done, call next member (defaults to next)
• HUBOT_SKIP regex of the message to skip member (defaults to skip (.+))
• HUBOT_DAILY_CHANNEL_NAME daily channel (defaults to daily-review)
• HUBOT_DAILY_USERS_BLACKLIST comma separated users to ignore (defaults to slackbot,dailyfreak)
• HUBOT_DAILY_DAYS_BLACKLIST comma separated week days to skip daily (defaults to 0,6)

Deployment

The Heroku app is already configured to listen for pushes to this repo's master branch and deploy a new version if anybody commits to it.

Restart the bot

You may want to get comfortable with heroku logs and heroku restart if you're having issues.
