How do I use Yoink?

Invite Yoinkbot to a public channel. (Optional)

Yoinkbot will announce any changes to the status of your shared resources.

/invite @yoinkbot

Let your team know you're using a resource by yoinking it.
The parameters in square brackets [ ] are optional.

/yoink resource_name [message] [expiry]
/yoink office-music-player "DJ-ing some tunes" 1h

If Yoinkbot has never seen a resource you're trying to lock, it will ask you to add it to a list of recognized resources.

You can also add resources by DM-ing Yoinkbot.

In a DM: resources add resource_name
resources add snoopy-the-office-dog

The same can be done for deleting resources.

In a DM: resources delete resource_name
resources delete 3d-printer

Yoinkbot can provide a list of your team's registered resources.

In a DM: resources list
> office-music-player (locked by: @dj-jazzy-jeff)

When you're finished with a resource, release it so your teammates can use it.

/release resource_name
/release development_server

An 'Alert me when freed' button will pop up anytime a resource is already locked when you try to yoink it.

Click this button to get a DM from Yoinkbot when it is freed up.

Button: Alert me when freed
