Leankit Notifier

Purpose

At TheMotion we used Leankit to manage our tasks and projects, and it has some small missing features (like notifications when a task is overdue, or some rules to enforce certain practices), so I decided to toy with their REST API in order to build a small script that can be run daily or connected to Slack to notify of cards (tasks) in the non-correct state.

Definition of correct state:

• Card is assigned to at least one person
• Card has a cost estimation (size)
• Card is not too big (size bigger than config provided field)
• Card has a date estimation (due date, although providing a starting date helps and allows additional checks)
• Card is not overdue

Note: No longer in development. This tool might stop working at any time and I won't update it as I no longer use Leankit.

Requisites

• Python 3
• An existing Leankit account

Installation

• Copy config.py.sample to config.py and fill fields accordingly. Remember that authentication is a base64 of username:password

Usage

• Just run python3 leankit_notifier.py
