Agile Development tool for Slack.

Basically, "Standup meetings for Slack"

Slack Manager allows teams to monitor employees on a daily basis. You can start a meeting by inviting your bot to your current channel and just write "start meeting".

Advantages of Slack Manager from other services:

Free and easy to use.
Configurable mail settings.
Configurable questions.

Create your Slack bot.

First make a bot integration inside of your Slack channel. Go here: https://my.slack.com/services/new/bot
Enter a name for your bot. Make it something fun and friendly, but avoid a single task specific name. Bots can do lots! Let's not pigeonhole them.
When you click "Add Bot Integration", you are taken to a page where you can add additional details about your bot, like an avatar, as well as customize its name & description.

Copy the API token that Slack gives you. You'll need it in the next step.

Installation

Clone the repository by:

git clone https://github.com/anonrig/slack-manager

Install from NPM

npm install slack-manager --save

Create your settings file.

touch config/production.json

Mailer service uses nodemailer's transport methods. Therefore, for better understanding please read nodemailer's available transports .

For example for Gmail settings: change your settings file by:

{
    "token": "YOUR SLACK TOKEN HERE",
    "mailer": {
        "service": "Gmail",
        "email": "email@address.com",
        "pass": "mySuperFancyPassword"
    }
}
