slack_uberzeit

Minimal Rails 5 app to control your
uberzeit timer via slack.

It’s still in very early development, pull requests/issues are very welcome!

Deploy it!

Create a slack integration

Go to https://yourteam.slack.com/apps/manage/custom-integrations
Slash commands
Add Configuration:
Choose A command: /uberzeit (this is what I prefer)
Fill in the following:
- URL: https://example.com (we’ll change that later)
- Customize Name: Uberzeit
- Customize Icon: Just upload an icon you like
- Autocomplete > Description: Uberzeit timer manager
- Autocomplete > Usage hint: [configure/info/start/stop]
Save Integration

Setup rails app

Deploy to heroku

Fill out all the following ENV variables on heroku: UBERZEIT_URL,
SLACK_TOKEN, SECRET_KEY_BASE.

On Premise

To setup the basic stuff just run bin/setup.

Fill out .env.production with your data.

Publish the app under a domain and go back to the slack custom integrations and
change the url to the following: https://<yourdeployedapp>.com/api
