How to Submit a Stand-up in Slack

Users can submit stand-ups in Slack in two ways:

1. Slack Channel Message: Mention the Enji Bot in a project’s Slack channel.
2. Direct Bot Message: Send the stand-up directly to the Enji Bot in a private message.

Open a project's Slack channel, write a stand-up in the following format, and send it as a normal message:

Send the message in the channel.

The bot will confirm that it has received the stand-up.

Handling Errors:

• This error occurs if the stand-up does not meet the required format. In this example, the word "Today" is misspelled, and the bot could not recognize it. Correct the text, and the bot will accept it:

• If the Slack channel is not linked to any project in Enji, the bot will display an error. Inform a project manager to resolve this issue.

Open a direct message with the Enji Bot and click the Start Standup button.

If a user is part of multiple Enji projects, the bot will prompt them to select the project for which they want to submit the stand-up. Choose the relevant project to begin.

The bot will ask a series of questions:

• What did you do yesterday?
• Did you meet your goals?
• What are you planning to do today?
• Do you have any problems to report?
• What makes you happy today?

Respond to the questions in order or use the Yes/No/Skip buttons.

The bot will compile your responses into a stand-up and post it in your project’s Slack channel in this format:

You've successfully submitted your stand-up!

Handling Authorization Errors:

If you encounter an authorization error, simply click Authorize in Slack. A browser window will open, prompting you to select the correct Slack Workspace and click Allow. The bot will then automatically authenticate you.
