Use a Slack Hubot to run randups.
Randups are random standups: an opportunity to share what is being worked on and what blockers are being worked through, but for larger organizations where it's time-prohibitive for everyone to share every single time, a random team-member is selected each time. This is meant to be run in conjunction to people keeping up-to-date within each project team, but additionally gives an opportunity to share what people are doing with the entire organization.
In a slack channel, you can ask Hubot to create a randup at a specific time. From then on, at that time every weekday, Hubot will randomly select a user in that slack channel to give an update.
hubot randup help - See a help document explaining how to use.
hubot create randup hh:mm - Creates a randup at hh:mm (UTC) every weekday for this room
hubot create randup hh:mm UTC+2 - As above, with a shift to account for UTC offset
hubot list randups - See all randups for this room
hubot list randups in every room - See all randups in every room
hubot delete hh:mm randup - If you have a randup at hh:mm, deletes it
hubot delete all randups - Deletes all randups for this room.
Currently, the time you specify must be the same timezone as the server Hubot resides on. You can check this with hubot time. However, you can specify a UTC offset to compensate for any differences between Hubot's time and your local time.
To enable the script, add the hubot-randup entry to the external-scripts.json file (you may need to create this file).
