Birthday & Anniversary Bot
The Hahams slack bot that sends messages for birthdays and anniversaries is done through executing a Github Action every night.
Note: The Github Actions have their cron job time set as 6 and 7 because it accounts for the timezone difference.
Authentication
Locally, these two actions use environment variables injected via the CLI (as described in the Quick Start section). However, this isn't possible in production and therefore alternate strategies are used.
The birthday action uses the firebase admin sdk & setting it up is through the google-github-actions/setup-gcloud@v0 github action. This requires the GCP_SA_KEY saved as an environment variable.
The anniversary action uses the firebase client sdk instead as passing environment variables is done automatically through Github.
