tickbot
Tickbot is a simple app to remind your team to complete their time tracking for the day. It also shames (in a friendly way) those who forgot to do so the day before.
We use Tick for our time tracking and Slack as our team chat room: tickbot was specifically written to work with both.
Setup
The easiest way to get started is to deploy to Heroku. You'll need to add the following config keys using heroku config:add KEY=VALUE.
| Key | Description |
|---|---|
TICK_USERNAME | Tick username/email address |
TICK_PASSWORD | Tick password (I'd suggest creating a separate non-admin account) |
TICK_SUBDOMAIN | Subdomain you chose when setting up Tick, e.g. globalpersonals |
TICK_IGNORE | Comma-separated list of email addresses for any Tick accounts you want to ignore, e.g. managers or part-time developers |
SLACK_CHANNEL | Channel to post the message, e.g. general |
SLACK_TOKEN | Token for your Slack integration, e.g. xoxp-... |
SLACK_SUBDOMAIN | Subdomain for your Slack team, e.g. globaldev |
Alternatively, if you're hosting it yourself, create a .env file and the Dotenv gem will pick up your config.
Usage
Every afternoon at 5:30pm (or whenever your team usually leave):
$ rake remind
Every morning at 7am:
$ rake shame
Alternatively, you can Curl the /remind or /shame URLs using the Sinatra app.
