A Google Chat bot for standup meetings.

Google Chat Standup Bot

This is a Google Chat bot for Google Workspace to ask the users the three defined standup questions. After the questions have been answered, the bot will publish the answers as a card to the group chat of the team. The standup questions can be either triggered automatically by a user configurable schedule, or manually by the user.

Features

• Supports different teams
• Bot publishes the standup answers to the team room
• Users can configure their own schedules, at which days and time they want to get a standup notification
• The questions are configurable per team
• The user can redo the standup questions, and the answers card will be updated in the team room
