NodeJS app that fetches today's events from Personio and posts a summary to a Slack channel. It also gets one of the current Days of the year to use in the Slack message.
First install the node dependencies:
npm install or yarn install.
Then create a .env file (you can use .env.dist
as an example). You need to add these environment variable definitions:
SLACK_HOOK_URL: Slack's hook URL that will be used to post messages to Slack.SLACK_CHANNEL: Slack's channel where the event report is going to be sent to.PERSONIO_CALENDARS: List of calendar identifiers separated by comma. For each calendar id defined in this list you need to add another two environment variable definitions:PERSONIO_URL_{CALENDAR_ID}: Personio's iCalendar link. You can get this link by going to the Personio's Calendar page, cliking theICALbutton, then changing the filters you want and finally copying the link.PERSONIO_MESSAGE_{CALENDAR_ID}: When the events are posted to Slack, these are grouped by Calendar ID. This env variable defines the group's header.
IGNORE_LIST(optional): comma separated list of employee names that should be ignored.
Run npm run start.
