# service-notifications A tool that creates slack channels for services in planning center and adds people who are assigned to the plan. This is to make it easy to communicate with people assigned to a plan, either automatically via the API included with tool, or manually in Slack. I wrote this tool to send notifications when a slide in ProPresenter is clicked, using the https://github.com/GRMrGecko/midi-request-trigger MIDI bridge. ## Install You can install by building. ### Building Building should be as simple as running: ```bash go build ``` ### Running as a service You are likely going to want to run the tool as a service to ensure it runs at boot and restarts in case of failures. Below is an example service config file you can place in `/etc/systemd/system/midi-request-trigger.service` on a linux system to run as a service if you install the binary in `/usr/local/bin/`. ```systemd [Unit] Description=Service Notifications After=network.target StartLimitIntervalSec=500 StartLimitBurst=5 [Service] ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/service-notifications ExecReload=/bin/kill -s HUP $MAINPID Restart=on-failure RestartSec=5s [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target ``` Once the service file is installed, you can run the following to start it: ```bash systemctl daemon-reload systemctl start service-notifications.service ``` On MacOS, you can setup a Launch Agent in `~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.mrgeckosmedia.service-notifications.plist` as follows: ```xml Label com.mrgeckosmedia.service-notifications ProgramArguments /path/to/bin/service-notifications -c /path/to/config.yaml KeepAlive Crashed SuccessfulExit RunAtLoad OnDemand ``` Start with: ```bash launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.mrgeckosmedia.midi-request-trigger.plist ``` Check status with: ```bash launchctl list com.mrgeckosmedia.midi-request-trigger ``` Stop with: ```bash launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.mrgeckosmedia.midi-request-trigger.plist ``` ## Cron job The idea is to setup cron jobs to update data/create the slack channels on a particular day. The following is an example of what I would use. ```crontab 0 6 * * 3 /path/to/bin/service-notifications --update ``` ## Config The default configuration paths are: - `./config.yaml` - A file in the current working directory. - `~/.config/service-notifications/config.yaml` - A file in your home directory's config path. - `/etc/service-notifications/config.yaml` - A file in the etc config folder. ### Basic config Get Slack API token by creating an app at https://api.slack.com/apps then go to "Install App" to get the token. Get Planning Center API secrets at https://api.planningcenteronline.com/oauth/applications by creating a personal access token. ```yaml --- database: debug: true planning_center: app_id: PC_APP_ID secret: PC_SECRET slack: api_token: SLACK_API_TOKEN admin_id: SLACK_UID ```
