Agenda Plugin

Maintainer: @mickmister

The Agenda Plugin helps users queue and list items in a channel's meeting agenda. The agenda is identified by a hashtag based on the meeting date.

The plugin will create posts for the user preceding the agenda item with configured hashtag format and can open a search with that hashtag to view the agenda list.

Initial development as part of Mattermost Hackathon 2019 which was demoed here.

Usage

Enable the plugin

Once this plugin is installed, a Mattermost admin can enable it in the Mattermost System Console by going to Plugins > Plugin Management, and selecting Enable.

Configure meeting settings

The meeting settings for each channel can be configured in the Channel Header Dropdown.

Meeting settings include:

• Schedule Day: Day of the week when the meeting is scheduled.
• Hashtag Format: The format of the hashtag for the meeting date. The date format is based on Go date and time formatting. The date format must be wrapped in double Braces ( {{ }} ). A default is generated from the first 15 characters of the channel's name with the short name of the month and day (i.e. Dev-{{ Jan02 }}).

Slash Commands to manage the meeting agenda
