An integration for Slack that converts any time string in a message to all timezones where the team is.
Currently supports any format parsable by ActiveSupport.
Monitors any channel it is in for messages that look like they contain a time and responds with local times for all the members in the channel.
In order to use this integration, the following Ruby libraries are needed:
- slack-rtmapi
- active_support
- json
They can be installed by using bundle:
bundle install
After all requirements are met, it's just necessary to run the code, passing the Slack token as parameter:
ruby slack-timezone-converter.rb <Slack token> <number of times per line (defaults to 1)> <additional message>
This program runs indefinitely and listens for new messages on the Slack channels. It can be stopped by just stopping the process.
- Correctly identify the format where a dot is the separator between hour and minutes (e.g., "8.30am")
