Overview

We need to set up GitHub PR notifications for Slack so that team members can stay up to date on new tickets and progress of existing tickets.

@bberhane thanks for setting up the ticket! I've prioritized it and cleared you from assignees since now it's ready to be picked up.

@dantor09 I noticed some activity from GitHub on #311-data slack channel. Can you make sure that the PR notifications happen on #311-data-engineering?

Hi @ryanfchase I am trying to remove the bot from #311-data but I do not see the remove button under the #311-data channel

@ryanfchase The link to this page on github is returning a 404 http response for me. https://github.com/orgs/hackforla/teams/311-data-write/settings/reminders/
I think this may be a permissions barrier. I am trying to set up the reminders every day at 9 AM for the #311-data-engineering channel on slack.

I am using this documentation to set the reminders up:
https://docs.github.com/en/organizations/organizing-members-into-teams/managing-scheduled-reminders-for-your-team#creating-a-scheduled-reminder-for-a-team
Once I get to the teams page, I do not have the option for "settings" to set up reminder.

I think @dantor09 was able to provide instructions for a PM (with proper credentials) to set up the slack channel reminders. Moving this to icebox until we decide we ought to do this.

Would the dev team benefit from this? Check the HfLA Slack channel #hfla-site-pr to see what it would like.

After reviewing #hfla-site and #hfla-site-pr, I don't feel that it would be helpful for our smaller team.

• our team used to assign one member each week to do PR announcements
• I could also do the PR announcements

But I will add this to an upcoming Dev meeting agenda just so that each member can have their say.
