Slack App that reminds users about missing times in https://mite.yo.lk/

mite-reminder

This is a slack app for reminding mite users about missing time entries.

How to run

You will need to set up a few environment variables. Either export <VAR_NAME>=<VAR_VALUE> them or put them in a .env file.

You will need:

• SLACK_TOKEN and SLACK_SIGNING_SECRET. You can get these when you setup a new app in slack.
• MITE_ACCOUNT_NAME. This is the prefix of your mite url in https://<MITE_ACCOUNT_NAME>.mite.yo.lk
• (optionally) MITE_API_KEY. Adding a mite api key with admin rights allows the user to check for times without having to provide its own api key.

Then, run the app with:

npm i
npm start

The bot will need some scopes to work properly, which you will need to setup in the slack app settings at OAuth & Permissions -> Scopes -> Bot Token Scopes:

• chat:write for sending messages to users
• im:write for sending messages to users
• im:history for reading direct messages from users
• im:read for reading direct messages from users
• users:read for checking times for all users of a channel
• users:read.email for automatic matching between slack and mite acocunts
