Slack Reminders

PHP script allows you to add one of more reminders to send in your slack chat using Slack API

Configure

1. Go to https://api.slack.com/docs/oauth-test-tokens and set an API token for your team
2. Copy config.sample.php and set the configuration within it, typing theAPI token copyed previously and setting the other informations about your team
3. Set reminders.php file, setting the reminders to send on chat with a simply PHP multiarray that contains the reminders, one for array. Here an example of how configure reminders.php file:

'reminder1' => [
	'message' => 'I want say this',
	'channel' => '#general',
	'on' => 'monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday, friday',
	'at' => '17:06' // or 2am or 5.30pm
],

/*'reminder2' => [
	'message' => 'I want say this',
	'channel' => '#general',
	'on' => 'monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday, friday',
	'at' => '17:06' // or 2am or 5.30pm
],*/

Define any reminder you want, by defining an array like this for each reminder.

• The index of array should be an identification "slug", in lowercase and without space or special characters
• 'message' is the message you want to show on chat
• 'channel' is where you want to send the message
• 'on' a simple human day of week indication.. more days must be
• 'at' when send it
