At Rheinfabrik we have a system of "Patenpartners" (roughly translated: "godfathers") that are chosen every week. These patenpartners ensure that the office looks nice, the plants are watered and the coffee machine is cleaned. This Bot is designed to randomly choose two people and post a notification to HipChat. It also provides a method to contact the current patenpartners by simply mentioning @patenpartner.
Currently the bot needs a local Redis and MongoDB server running.
Install dependencies:
npm install
create a ngrok tunnel
npm tunnel
change the localBaseUrl in package.json
and run the app:
npm run web-dev
Now go to https://hipchat.com/admin/addons click on the "Install an integration from a descriptor URL" link at the bottom of the page and enter http://YOURSUBDOMAIN.ngrok.com/addon/capabilities
You can customize the keyword that the bot listens to (default is patenpartner) and the locale (default is English; German is also available)
