Problem Solved

This workflow addresses the challenge of coordinating standup meetings by automating the process of gathering updates from team members. It eliminates the need for manual check-ins, ensuring that all team members can provide their input in a structured manner, thereby saving time and increasing accountability.

Workflow Steps

  • Trigger: The workflow is initiated via a webhook when a user interacts with the Mattermost bot (e.g., sending a slash command).
    2. User Action: The bot captures the user's action and checks if it requires opening a configuration dialog or a standup dialog.
    3. Configuration Handling: If the action is related to configuration, it retrieves existing configurations and prepares a dialog for users to update their standup settings.
    4. Standup Dialog Preparation: For standup updates, the workflow gathers the necessary information (like questions to ask) and prepares a dialog for users to submit their answers.
    5. Data Collection: Users provide their responses through the dialog, which are then processed and formatted into a report.
    6. Report Publishing: The formatted report is published back to the relevant Mattermost channel, ensuring all team members are informed of each other's updates.
    7. Reminder System: The workflow includes a scheduled trigger that checks for due standups every hour, ensuring regular check-ins and reminders for the team.

    • Customization Guide

    To customize this workflow:
    - Change Standup Questions: Modify the questions in the Prep Config Dialog function to better suit your team's needs.
    - Adjust Timing: Update the cron expression in the Every hour node to change the frequency of standup reminders (e.g., adjust to specific days or times).
    - Integrate Additional Tools: You can add more nodes to connect with other services or tools your team uses for project management or communication.
    - User Permissions: Ensure that the Mattermost bot has the necessary permissions to post messages and read user data in your Mattermost channels.
