It's a countdown bot for Slack

callie's Issues

"schedule" command not creating any schedules, returns textual error response instead

I wanted to primarily use callie for the schedule command, but after following your exact syntax over many tests, I still couldn't get "schedule" to successfully work. Using the start date command however did work correctly, for example something like start date: 2018-04-03, event: cool

I apologize for how weak the detail in this issue is going to be, i'm creating this about a week after this happened.

Command used:
@callie schedule: weekly, day: sunday, event: cool

Response error:
Returned an error that I didn't remember exactly off the top of my head, but I believe it was this one: (combed through your code looking for familiar errors)
Couldn't find a countdown for that event...sorry. Try asking me for "list" to see your current countdowns!
I can't say I'm 100% this was it /shrug

/edit If you'd like me to reinstall callie and track down details like a proper developer, let me know :) I'm willing to put in the time to get this app to work for me since it's exactly what I need and there's really nothing else like it out there right now that's lightweight and quick.

Schedule time zone is stuck in Pacific Time

When I setup a schedule for a countdown, the hour I enter is seen as Pacific Time, rather than my time zone (Eastern Time). For example the command @callie schedule: weekly, day: monday, event: My Event, hour: 3 triggers the reminder at 6:00 Eastern Time.

Rename github repo to "Callie"

Rename github repo to "Callie". It's confusing otherwise.

Adding Callie to another Channel

It seems that Callie can only be in one channel at a time, when I added it to another Channel, it was gone from the original one (Which makes sense, a dog cannot be in two places at the same time 😄 )

Q: Method to exclude weekends / holidays from countdown?

Delete event not working

Input: @callie delete event: @packy's Funeral Service
Response: No countdown found for an event called undefined!

The event does show up with @callie list

Callie is probably used in business contexts a lot. Suggest add "weekdays"

While it's interesting that there are x calendar days to a deadline, what's often more relevant is the number of business days. That should imbue a more appropriate sense of panic :)

TimeZone

Hey,

Is it possible to set timezone for event schedules e.g. @callie schedule: daily, event: Launch, hour: 10GMT

And also would be great to get a list of schedules e.g. @calie schedule, event: Launch -> "10am GMT"

Cheers,

Ben

After correctly setting up the daily schedule, I don't get reminders.

Can you help troubleshoot please?

Sort Events Chronologically

When adding issues, they seem to be displayed (both in reminders and via the list command) in the order the events were added. It would be nice (not sure if better would be the right word) to see them sorted chronologically.

Example of current behavior:
@callie list

Your events:
1: Auntie Em's Birthday on 03/12/2020
2: Trip to Paris on 11/13/2019
3: Going away party for Ed from Accounting on 09/13/2019

What (I think) would look more intuitive:
@callie list

Your events:
1: Going away party for Ed from Accounting on 09/13/2019
2: Trip to Paris on 11/13/2019
3: Auntie Em's Birthday on 03/12/2020

No countdown for an event called "undefined"

I'm not sure how I succeeded, but this is an issue I've seen just now:

Intermittent reminders of time left [Question]

Hello, I'm evaluating callie to see if it can solve my problem.

I'd like a bot that I can configure to send a days-remaining message every N days. Can callie do this?

Privacy concern regarding Callie's permissions

On looking to install Callie, Slack presents two warnings

Add a bot user with the username @callie
Callie will be able to install a bot user that appears in and has access to your workspace’s directory. It can also post messages and view activity on messages in any channel it is invited to.

Access content in your public channels
Callie will be able to access any messages and activity you can see in public channels.

The first is understandable, the second however I cannot see an obvious need for? Why would Callie need to be able to access content in all public channels?

Can't seem to set a time other than on the hour

Steps to Reproduce
0) Install callie add-on

1. @callie schedule: daily, event: Nehuen’s 30th Birthday, hour: 09:57
2. I've updated your countdown reminder for Nehuen’s 30th Birthday!

Expected Result
Callie to run event at 9:57am

Actual Result
Callie runs the event at 9:00am

Notes
I've tried formatting as 0957 also and I get an error:
Something went wrong with updating that countdown, sorry! Did you get the name of the event right?
