Rocket.Chat Broadcaster

Send a message to multiple Rocke.Chat channels

Use /broadcast to open the broadcast message modal.

Purpose

I lead a team of Devops and IT-Support and often I have to send info messages to several channels to make sure as much as possible employees of our company will see it. For this reason I devided to write a broadcaster app. Currently the functionality is a little bit limited by the option of Rocket.Chat.

Known bugs

• You can't press enter or SHIFT + enter in the message input field if you use Rocket.Chat < V4.4.0 . This is a bug in Rocket.Chat and has been fixed in V4.4.0

Getting Started

• rc-apps package: this command will generate a packaged app file (zip) which can be installed if it compiles with TypeScript
• rc-apps deploy: that does the same as package but then asks you for your server url, username, and password to deploy it for you
