Presentation Order

A Serverless AWS Lambda Function that posts a randomized presentation order every two weeks to Slack

How It Works

This app is scheduled to run every Thursday at 8 am and will post a message to the associated Slack Channel if the Thursday falls on a Demo Day.

Environment Variables

Currently, environment variables are provided on AWS Lambda:

• SLACK_OAUTH_TOKEN - used to authenticate app on Slack
• TEAM_LIST - list of existing engineering squads at Procurify
• SLACK_SIGNING_SECRET - signing secret used to verify message posts to Slack

One other key variable is the list of valid demo days - this is currently hardcoded in the verify_is_valid_demo_day in utils.py. In the current state of the app, this list will need to be updated before the end of 2021.

Slack Commands

Currently, there is only one command that is available to users.

/get-demo-order - This slash command will return a randomized presentation order on demand.

To add more commands visit the Demo Day Order app on Slack.
