Imagine you are visiting a brick'n'mortar office of some organization. Imagine that organization is Bitmaker. You go up the stairs to the second floor and you see an iPad mounted next to the entrance door. You fill out your name and select who you're there to see: Erik. You let the iPad snap a photo of yourself and hit Submit. Erik gets a notification on his phone and you are shortly reunited with Erik.
Reception is a Rails application for persisting visitor data and is a companion web service for the Reception iOS App
If you would like to get involved in development, check out the TODO at the bottom, fork the repo, create a branch, open a pull request.
We are using the slack-ruby-client gem to communicate with the Slack Web API.
You need to get a Slack token at https://api.slack.com/web
The Rails app expects the token to be available via the SLACK_TOKEN environment variable.
- The list of hosts is generated from the Slack organization corresponding to the
slack token. There's a rake task
rake slack:usersthat downloads the list of slack users into thehoststable. - When a visit is persisted, a slack message is sent to the
#receptionchannel.
Visitor photos are stored in AWS S3.
Get the public and secret key from AWS and make them available to the Rails app via the AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY environment variables.
The bucket name should be set in S3_BUCKET_NAME.
