There are lots of tutorials existing online already about how to make bots so I won’t get into that. you are curious about how to work with GoogleCalendar Api in Node.js, renewing tokens over time and handling auth callback outside the browser.you are wondering how other people structure their architecture and especially software without a UI, like a bot.Check out Tomomi Sasaki’s excellent article first to get an idea of why we built it.

This article is geared towards the tech side of things. Meekee sends a ping 3 mins before it starts so you can keep working until then but still have enough time to be in the right mindset when it starts. We made Meekee to help ease the pains of finding the hangout link/the room, remembering what the meeting is about, when it starts, etc. Meekee is a tiny slackbot coded in Node.js that taps into the Google Calendar API and sends notifications when there’s have an event coming up.Īs a distributed team, we had a lot of small frustrations around joining remote calls on a daily basis.
