Gemification

A Slack bot built on BotKit created for UW-Oshkosh central IT as a buddy reward system. Give gems to coworkers for to show workplace appreciation!

Permissions

There are two permissions in this program: user and admin.

User

This permission can give gems to co-workers in the Slack team and view the leaderboard.

Admin

This permission has all the permissions of the user as well as admin functionality. They are as follows:

Clear the leaderboard
List the current Gemification admins
Add a new Gemification admin
Remove an existing Gemification admin
Get a full list of all gems given in the current time period
Show a list of gem statements (reasons) for a Gemification user
List all currently configured Gemification users and which group (leaderboard) they are assigned to
Reconfigure an existing (or new) Gemification user to a new group (leaderboard)

Additional Note

For each admin role, you can private message the Gemification bot in Slack "help" to receive a list of all commands you have access to perform at your currently assigned permission level.

Usage

To give someone a gem, simply type @ followed by 💎

Giving Gems Examples

@Aaron.Rodgers 💎 for throwing that Super Bowl touchdown pass!
@Mike.McCarthy 💎 for cracking down on missed tackles in practice today.

Each gem statement will give one gem to each tagged person. Gems are tracked in a leaderboard, showing who has the most gems.

To access this leaderboard, go to the #gem-appreciation channel and type @gemification leaderboard.

If @Aaron.Rodgers and @Mike.McCarthy were each on the Green Bay Packers team in Slack, the leaderboard would look like this after both of the previous Gem transactions.

Green Bay Packers Leaderboard:

1.) Aaron.Rodgers 1

2.) Mike.McCarthy 1
