About this service

Written stand-ups save a daily call, but someone has to remind people and gather the answers. This Slack bot does that. From Standard, a slash command opens a short form with your questions, such as yesterday, today and blockers, and posts each person's answers to your stand-up channel and a Google Sheet. In Premium the bot reminds everyone who opened its chat at your time on working days, and admin commands change the time, skip a day or show who has not answered. Basic gives answers only: how your stand-ups work, the questions and links to your boards. The bot does not judge progress, write summaries or read other tools, and takes no payments. It runs in Socket Mode, so it needs no public web address. The README shows how to create the app in your Slack workspace and run it on your computer, server or a hosting with Python. Hosting and the tokens are yours.

What we need from you

Your stand-up questions exactly as people should read them; the channel where answers go; the answers for Basic (how stand-ups work, links to your boards and notes); for Premium, the reminder time, time zone, working days and the Slack users who may use admin commands. Never send the bot's tokens, a Google access key or any passwords: the README shows where you put them yourself.

We will ask you:

• Stand-up questions
• Channel and time
• Working days
• Answers and links
