Roundup Roger will help grab a snippet from your team and send it around

=============

Roundup Roger helps teams with end of day wrap-ups. Great for teams working remotely and those who finish working at different times.

1. Roundup Roger sends an email to your team members every day at a designated time.
2. Each team member responds to the reminder email with what they worked on that day.
3. The following morning, a roundup email is sent to the entire team with each member's contributions from the previous day.

Requirements

This is a Ruby Sinatra app that processes the incoming mail using Mandrill and has a rake task to send out emails to your team.

1. SMTP server for outgoing email (Can use Mandrill here, too)
2. Incoming Mandrill email address to collect the responses
3. Server to run this, works perfectly on Heroku
4. A PostgreSQL database

Setup

1. Ensure you have ruby version 2.1.1.
2. Run bundler.

bundle install

3. Add a .env file to the application root (use .env.example as a starting point).

In .env you can set up the email addresses of your team, the SMTP server settings and other config for the app.

Rake Tasks

To send a test email

rake send_test_email

To send reminder emails
