🙏 Sigan - Very simple CLI slack alarm manager 🙏

A convenient app that allows you to set alarms through a simple CLI. Create alarms in Slack with simple commands!

🛎 Current Version 0.1.21

Upgrade with pip install sigan --upgrade

🚀 Installation & Settings

First, you need to download the Slack app by clicking the link below. (You can choose the workspace where you want to install it in the upper right corner of the link.)

Although it has not been officially approved by Slack yet, it will be approved in the future. Rest assured, it is not a hacking program!

Once you have downloaded the "Sigan Slack App" through the link, you will receive a message as shown below. Check if the team ID has arrived in the message and copy it!

Next, make sure that Python is version 3.9 or higher. Then enter the following commands in the terminal:

pip install sigan

After the installation is complete, proceed with registration using the following command:

sigan register

You will be prompted to enter the team ID that you copied earlier `` If you entered the correct team ID, you will receive a message confirming that the registration is complete.

Now, you are all set! However, please check a few restrictions.

⚠️ Restrictions

• This project is created by an inexperienced child and contains strange code and suboptimal implementations. We will strive to make it a new and better project.

• You can set message reservations up to 120 days in the future.

• You cannot schedule more than 30 messages within 5 minutes in the same channel.

  • Slack API reference

• If a scheduled message is going to be sent within 5 minutes, it cannot be deleted, resulting in an error.

• This may be a bug, as the official documentation states within 1 minute, but the API returns "OK" while it fails in the background.

  • Slack API reference
  • Reference

• Sigan bot operates in a single Slack workspace only.

  • If you want to use it in a different Slack workspace, you need to install it in the new workspace through the "App to Slack" link at the top and run sigan register again.
  • You also need to remove the existing Sigan bot from the previous Slack workspace.
