Trying to report time for the following and the BOT keeps saying that I have not mentioned the day and the time spent, then reports the worklog as Yesterday and for the Whole day.

Daily sync up regarding how to position Approve.ly in the Compello platform and what are the differentiators of it #cd-5 #today #1h20m

Bot replies with followings;

You didn’t mention which day to log. I’m logging this as #yesterday.
You didn’t mention how much time to log. I’m logging this as a Whole Day.

Intent commands like help, how to, recent etc. gets triggered when a worklog entry contains those words such as;

Daily sync up regarding how to position Approve.ly in the Compello platform and what are the differentiators of it #cd-5 #today #1h20m

This triggers the how to command instead of logging the worklog entry.

Trying to create a worklog with following comment but it keeps throwing an exception Internal server error.

  "timeSpent" : "1d2h30m"

@tharindraj mentioned If the JIRA code is wrong, it says;

Oops. Something went wrong and we need to start over.

Add CONTRIBUTING.md

For some employees, not for all, seranet API returns duplicate JIRA instances once signed in. Consequently, this causes issues when trying to sign in to JIRA instances to report time.

Simply when someone types help or yelp or how to? or how do i?, list all the things the users can do with this bot, especially followings must be mentioned;

• Sign in
• Reset
• Recent
• My tasks

Also it's good to give some examples of how to report time.

Help and guidance when using the chat bot are not as friendly. Need some examples of chat commands and suggestions.

• Help cards for things users can do
• Guidance when getting on board
• Guidance when something goes wrong

Sometimes I cannot remember the JIRA task ID so I want to search for JIRA issues. For instance;

what are my compello tasks?
what are the jira tasks for HR?
what are the CL tasks?

should list the search results in point-form like;

• CL-1 General meetings and discussions
• CL-2 Discussions with the teams and account managers
• CL-3 Weekly resource meeting
• CL-6 CL team activities
• ...

Add CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md

When the journal log entries has a specific date mentioned BOT keeps saying the date has not mentioned and keeps reporting time for yesterday.

For example, below worklog entry keeps reporting as yesterday;

Daily sync up regarding how to position Approve.ly in the Compello platform and what are the differentiators of it #cd-5 #5/19 #1h20m

BOT replies as;

You didn’t mention which day to log. I’m logging this as #yesterday.

Right now we are authenticating via Seranet which is a 99XT specific service. In the future, we need like to skip Seranet and go ahead directly with JIRA REST API for reporting time.

Work items

• Sign in card to authenticate via multiple JIRA instances
• Time report to authenticated JIRA instances
• Showing all assigned and recently used tasks from connected JIRA instances
• Get rid of Seranet
• Sign out from connected JIRA instances

If I do a mistake - wrong task/description/number of hours/etc. - while reporting time for a day, it's good to have the edit feature there itself instead of having to log in to Jira to correct it.

Right now, if I try to edit the same time log message it would be caused to create a new time entry on JIRA.

So far we have a limitation with what users can say to the bot. With Cognitive Services such as LUIS we can have more flexibility on this. Few improvements that it will bring to the bot;

• Get rid of the command and control type chat conversations
• Get rid of hashtag mentions for jira tasks, time spent, and the days and specific dates.
• Extending conversations such as sign me in as kosalap instead of just saying sign in and then wait till the bot asks for the username or email.

I entered an invalid passcode when the Jira Jornal request for the Secret Code.
Then bot says,

That's not the Secret Code I sent you (wonder). Let's start over.
Oops. Something went wrong and we need to start over.

In above message, Oops. Something went wrong and we need to start over. should not be shown to me.
Seems the application is crashed in this scenario.

Once user adds the Jira bot to the skype contacts and if the user tries to add time entries without getting signed in,
Bot says,

Oops. Something went wrong and we need to start over.

Retrieve all assign tasks from JIRA instances.

As shown in the above image the bot crashes after the user edits a previously sent message.

Suggesting a nice-to-have feature -> Its better If a team member is allowed to log time entry for a common task(say, a meeting) on behalf of rest of the participants while entering time for himself.

Don't you think this is gonna be an awesome feature after all? ;)

Show a list of recently used tasks from JIRA instances.
