As a user, I want assigner to take me out of rotation when I go on vacation #158

Open maxgutman opened 5 years ago

maxgutman commented 5 years ago

It would be great if a user can provide access to their calendar events so that assigner would automatically take people out of rotation a day or two before vacation, and adds them back when they return.

@maxgutman Thanks! This comes up every now and then. The main issue with this is figuring out the best way to allow users to set vacations.

You brought up calendar integration, which is interesting. Other options could include GitHub profile statuses or maybe something on the Slack side. Any strong preferences?

Slack would be a great option if tied to the slack status of the user.

Does Pull Reminder have an API? We use Zenefits and we could probably tie it to our PTO calendar.

athkalia commented 5 years ago

We wrote a Jenkins groovy script that checks the slack status via their API and adds/removes people from that github team. Happy to share

We'd be interested in seeing that!

Hi @nicogreenarry , this is the article explaining the process! https://medium.com/babylon-engineering/bringing-some-order-to-pull-request-reviews-27ac55d181bb

As a fun exercise, I went and built what's described in the article and made it open-source: https://github.com/johnfonte/pull-unassigner @abinoda @nicogreenarry @athkalia @maxgutman

@johnfonte very cool! I haven't used it yet, but I may. We aren't currently diligent about updating our slack statuses based on PTO, but I found a Zenefits/Slack integration that can do that for us automatically (since we use Zenefits and track our PTO there).
