rooster

rooster is a maintenance slack app that performs various duties in the fern slack environment.

open customer threads

if a support thread in #customer-alerts has not been marked with ✅ by the end of the day, it will be included in a round-up of messages, all sent to the #customer-alerts channel, tagging the deployed engineer on-call.

pnpm install
pnpm run build
pnpm start

for development:

pnpm run dev
