Scheduler

Would be nice to set a daily time for standups to occur. (Comes with a "!when" function to ask when the next standup is; also comes with the requirement that you can't start a new standup when one is occuring.)

Setting a time would be super useful!

I think what you need to have is also an ability to force start the standup and perhaps list the people who were absent in that morning standup. It is similar to absent staff in the workplace.

+1. Would love to just have something simple like...

!when
bot: what time do you want to schedule standups?
m-f 9am

If a standup is in session, automatically close like @xiaozhupa said. IMO if you haven't finished a standup within 24h, it's pretty much useless.

This can be easily achieved via IFTTT by using the Post a daily reminder to a Slack channel recipe.

Sorry, the above doesn't work. Unfortunately Slack is posting all bot messages under the same name, i.e. "slackbot". morgenbot has to ignore its own messages and - due to that limitation - ignores all bot messages, including the one from the IFTTT bot. 😞
