Standup meeting Telegram bot

Telegram Bot to perform daily standup meetings for each group (or team), the bot is added to.

For now the bot implements a single command /standup, which prompts the user with the 3 standup meeting questions

• What did you do yesterday?
• What will you do today?
• Do you have any obstacles for your progress?

For now all bot messages are in Spanish, although internationalization is planned.

Getting started

The bot is implemented in Node.js and it uses the telegraf.js bot framework, and yarn to manage dependencies. You can install yarn using

npm install -g yarn

Running the bot from source

Clone the repo with:

git clone https://github.com/niclabs/bot.git

Install dependencies

cd bot
yarn

yarn test

To run, you need an API token (you can request one contacting the @BotFather).

export TELEGRAM_TOKEN=<your API token>
yarn start

Running the bot using docker

Assuming you have already installed Docker, you can obtain the latest docker image of the bot with

docker pull niclabs/bot

For running the bot in the foreground use the command

docker run --rm -ti -e TELEGRAM_TOKEN=<your API token> niclabs/bot

Or as a daemon

docker run -d -e TELEGRAM_TOKEN=<your API token> niclabs/bot
