This is small Elixir based slack bot that will allow employees to add time off to a virtual calendar and then anyone can ask the bot who's out to see a list of the people that have logged time out.
This is currently in its first iteration so I expect there are quite a few bugs still.
- Clone this repo.
git clone <REPO_URL>
- Install Dependencies
mix deps.get
- Add a
<env>.secret.exsfile with your slack api key to the slackin config folder
use Mix.Config
config :slack, Slackin.Kin,
secret_key: <YOUR_KEY_HERE>
- Run from the command line
mix run --no-halt
ALL DATES NEED TO BE IN THE FORMAT MM/DD/YYYY REASON FOR BEING OUT OF OFFICE NEEDS TO BE A SINGLE WORD (i.e. WFH, SICK, VACATION, etc)
Once it's running you should see the slackbot come online in your slack channel.
You can then invite @slackin to any channel you would like to use slackin from.
To add a time off for yourself:
@slackin <FROM_DATE> <TO_DATE> <REASON>
Should receive response
@{username} Time off added!
To see who is in the office today just send a message with a question mark at the end:
@slackin <ANY TEXT HERE>?
If no one is out:
@<USER> Looks like we're all here today
If someone is out for the day:
@<PERSON OUT> is out for <REASON>
