notion_teams

Report on team details with Notion.so as a back-end

Inspired by a work discussion regarding team structures. I wanted to create a simple way to store info on our Engineering teams (names, people, roles, etc) so I could deliver that information via the web, Slack bot, etc. We already use Notion.so as our engineering wiki so this made the most sense.

To Do

• revise documentation
  • notion page & collection
  • installation

    • python3 -m pip install notion

    • notion page & collection details
    • config file fields
• clean up code massively (it's still very much in a POC phase)
• make a notion template for the team listing & share it
• separate functions for:
  • full team listing (subset of full info?)
  • single team, full details (don't randomize dev list)
  • single team stand-up order (randomize dev list)
• Slack bot
  • AWS Lambda and/or DO Dropplet, something simple
    • make sure to encrypt the v2 api key
• look into newer Notion.so REST API and/or newer SDKs & clients
  • coookie thing is ugly, need something better
• don't really need anything from the parent page, could get rid of that extra details
• describe other ways to use & format the collection within Notion.so
• JSON sucks for config files (lack of comments), move to YAML?
