Discord bot for Scrum daily standups

THIS BOT IS NOT IN USE ANYMORE

How-To:

Test out locally

  • visit https://discord.com/developers/applications
  • New Application -> Enter name
  • Bot -> Add Bot
  • Reveal and copy discord bot token

  • OAuth2 -> choose bot scope -> choose permissions: Manage Channels, View Channels, Send Messages, Read Messages
  • Copy that link and use it to invite bot into your own personal discord server

Disclaimer:

This bot is not meant to replace your daily standups outright. It is more of a helper for your meetings. Instead of spending time going around asking the same questions everyday, time can be reserved for more important non-repetitive discussion and help.

Initial Setup

Click Here to add the bot to your server.

Note that the above requires you to have the Manage Server permission in this server

The bot will then create an entry in the MongoDB database for the server, create the text channel #daily-standups and send an introduction.

Commands

The prefix for this bot is !

Name Description Usage Server or DM
help Shows all commands !help [optional command name] both

Usage

Standup time is set to 10:30:00 PM EST every weekday

Anytime before the standup time, added members must DM the bot with the reply followed by their message. The bot will then upload this response to the database.
Come standup time, the bot will create an Embed with all collected member responses and will include a Hooligans section with mentions of members who did not participate.
This message will be posted to #daily-standups.

After the message has been posted, the bot will delete all member responses, thus members will have to DM for the next standup.

Made with

  • Discord.js and node-schedule for cron jobs
  • MongoDB with mongoose
  • Heroku for hosting
  • ❤️
