Standup Bot 🤖

Discord bot for Scrum daily standups

How-To:

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. You'll need to fill in YOUR_CLIENT_ID with your bots client id.

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.

The prefix for this bot is !

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.
