Usage
const slapp = require('slapp')
const Nag = require('slapp-nag')
const nag = new Nag(slapp, {
store: { host: '127.0.0.1', password: 'xxx' } // not yet implemented
})
// ...other slapp bot logic
slapp.route('askNameAndNag', (msg, state) => {
msg.say("Sounds good, I'll remind you later!")
// ask this question, then remind them once, in an hour
nag.ask({
msg,
state // optional, state will be passed through
ask: 'What is your name', // this is a full slack msg object
route: 'routeName',
remind: { hours: 1 }
})
// don't ask right now, but remind them every day starting tomorrow
nag({ msg,
ask: 'What is your name',
route: 'routeName',
remind: { days: 1 },
repeat: true
})
// ask, then remind with increasing frequency up to a given deadline
nag.ask({ msg,
ask: 'What is your name',
route: 'routeName',
remind: { days: 1 },
deadline: '10/15/2016' // not yet implemented
})
})
The user will see something like this:
**Bot**: What is your name?
... user doesn't respond ...
**Bot**: Hey, just a reminder that I still need your answer to this question:
**Bot**: What is your name?
The bot will continue making this request until the user responds. It will then continue on to the route as named.
