Hubot-gcal-meeting-reminder NPM

hubot-gcal-meeting-reminder

A hubot script that sends you reminders to Slack of the upcoming meetings you have on GoogleCalendar.

Use

This package adds 3 commands to hubot:

send me meeting reminders : the bot enable reminders for you
stop sending me meeting reminders : the bot disable reminders for you
who's getting reminders? : the bot informs you of the list of users who are currently getting reminders.

the commands are optimized to be used as direct message to your bot on Slack.

Installation

In hubot project folder, run:

npm install hubot-gcal-meeting-reminder --save

Then add hubot-gcal-meeting-reminder to your external-scripts.json:

[
  "hubot-gcal-meeting-reminder"
]

Auth

We rely the hubot-slack-google-auth to handle authentification to Google via Slack. To install it:

npm install hubot-slack-google-auth --save

There's a couple of vars to setup on this plugin's side as explained in the 'Configuration' paragraph of their README.

Notes on using Heroku to run hubot

If you are running your hubot instance on Heroku, you might want to add the hubot-redis-brain package to your hubot instance and enable the Redis To Go addon to Heroku ressources.

Heroku's instance is restarted automatically everyday or so and it will erase your memory each time, long with the list of users who enabled reminders. A bot with amnesia is only that useful...
