YoStroop is a bot that allows members of a Slack workspace to give rewards to each other, usually as a way of saying "thank you" for help and valuable contributions. It was developed using Python, Azure Functions v2.0 and Cosmos DB.
After you install, the bot listens to public channels in your Slack workspace. Whenever someone writes a message that contains the string :stroopwafel:, the bot will parse the message looking for mentions, and will record that each of the mentioned users got a stroopwafel. At the end of the month (still in development) the bot will communicate the leaderboard - who received the most stroopwafels. Note that the string :stroopwafel: represents an emoji as it's between :. This works better if your slack workspace uses a custom emoji for :stroopwafel:.
- Monthly report
- Limits on how many stroopwafels each user can send per month
- Customization of the "gift" - today it's a stroopwafel, but we can allow different workspaces to use different emojis
