oncall 1.0.1

an Abbot package for Slack by Serious Business

A skill that tells you who is currently on call.

Abbot is a programmable bot that turns your team chat into a shared command center. We handle all the boilerplate of building and running these conmmands so that you can focus on making tools that help you ship faster.

We built Abbot because we saw the power of this style of work (called ChatOps), when we worked at GitHub. ChatOps made it possible for GitHub to work productively without meetings, while globally distributed. We think it's a pretty great way to work, so we made it easy to use in Slack, Discord, and Microsoft Teams.

You can read more about Abbot here, check out our blog, or take a look at some of the other cool packages available as a one-click install from Abbot's Package Directory.

var category = "site"; // You could extend this skill to have multiple on-call categories.

if (Bot.Arguments is { Count: 0 }) {
  var oncall = await Bot.Brain.GetAsync(category);
  if (oncall is null) {
    await Bot.ReplyAsync("Nobody is on call. To set someone to be on call, just type `@abbot oncall NAME`.");
  }
  else {
	await Bot.ReplyAsync($"{oncall} is on call.");
  }    
}
else if (Bot.Mentions is { Count: 0 }) {
  await Bot.ReplyAsync($"Sorry, you did not mention anyone to be on call.");
}
else if (Bot.Mentions is { Count: 1 }) {
  var mentioned = Bot.Mentions[0];
  if (mentioned.Id == Bot.Id) {
    await Bot.ReplyAsync($"Unfortunately I am a bot and am not yet able to be put on call.");
  }
  else {
  	await Bot.Brain.WriteAsync(category, mentioned);
  	await Bot.ReplyAsync($"Ok, {mentioned} is now on call.");
  }
}
else {
  await Bot.ReplyAsync("Only one person may be on call at a time. Or, you can change the `oncall` skill to allow more.");
}
