# Slackup: Standup Meeting in Cyberspace
This is a simple command line tool to send yesterday and today's status
update messages to a Slack channel, using an [Incoming
Webhook](https://api.slack.com/incoming-webhooks).
To see how to send a Slack message from a Google form, see the GitHub repo
[syncom/google-forms-to-slack](https://github.com/syncom/google-forms-to-slack).
## Usage
1. Install the [Incoming Webhooks
application](https://api.slack.com/incoming-webhooks) in your Slack
workspace. Obtain the associated webhook URL.
2. Clone the repository.
```bash
git clone https://github.com/syncom/slackup.git
```
3. Before the first use, edit [.config](./.config) to update values for
configuration entries `webhook_url`, `username`, and `channel`, where
- `webhook_url` is the webhook URL we have obtained
- `username` is the system username under which the script is run. Note
that this entry must match the runtime username, otherwise an error
shall occur
- `channel` is the name of the Slack channel to which the update message
is sent. It is of the form #channel_name
4. Run `python3 slackup.py` from command line, and enter the status update
message upon prompt. The synopsis is as follows.
```bash
usage: slackup.py [-h]
Slackup: send yesterday and today's status update to Slack.
Before first use, edit .config to add appropriate values for the webhook URL, username, and Slack channel name.
At prompt, enter status update for yesterday and today. It takes multiline input for status update. Press Enter twice to complete input.
Example:
python3 slackup.py
Slackup. Press Enter button twice to complete daily update
Yesterday:
y: item1
y: item 2
Today:
t: item 3
t: item 4
HTTP response status: 200
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
```
If everything is set up properly, you should receive a Slackup message in
your Slack channel (as in the screen shot below).
