powerball
The stupid simple Slack lotto bot.
This is a stupid simple Slack bot that just draws a winner each hour from a CSV specified list. It's single purpose in design, so it's quite unlikely to be of any use to you.
Configuration
powerball reads its configuration from config.yaml in the current directory. The
format looks something like this:
---
:admins:
- binford2k
- meg
- anna
:channel: apitesting
:token: "<my slack api token>"
:starting: "2017-12-07 13:00 UTC"
The attendee input comes (by default) from attendees.csv in the current directory. Its
format is that of an attendee report dumped from EventBrite. The fields we care about can
be seen in the source code.
Usage
All the options from config.yaml can also be specified on the command line. Use the --help
flag for usage.
$ powerball --help
Usage : powerball [-t <token>] [-c <channel>] [-a <admins>] [--starting '2017-12-07 13:00 UTC']

Limitations
This is super early in development and has not yet been battle tested. It might eat your kitten.
