A slack bot to support posting status from slack to standups #384

Open astleychen opened 7 years ago

Do we have any plan to implement a slack bot and provide similar functions as irc bot ? Or is there any alternatives to achieve it without doing it ?

When @pmac and I rewrote Standup, we made an effort to build the API and auth token system such that we could have multiple bots rather than a single IRC bot with the thinking that this enables people to build other kinds of bots including a Slack bot.

Having said that, we still need to work out the identities problem which is sort of covered in #271 and #279. I think that's the only thing blocking non-IRC bots.

The way we did the IRC bot is that it's a separate project: https://github.com/mozilla/standup-irc

I don't know if anyone has started a Slack bot, yet. If such an effort were to get underway, I'll promise to spend some quality time on issue #271 and #279 to unblock a Slack bot.
