Clocking-in

This program will help me in my working environment, it will check the time I get on my computer at work (in the future it will run automatically as soon as I open Discord... that's the idea) and the time I stop using it and get ready to leave the office

Automatic Clock-In/Out Discord Bot with Database Integration

Overview

This Go program simplifies the process of tracking work hours by combining the power of a database and a Discord bot. It enables employees to easily clock in and out of their work shifts, while automatically notifying their supervisor on a Discord channel about their work hours.

Features

• Database Integration: Utilizes a database (e.g., MySQL, SQLite) to store clock-in and clock-out records for employees, including their unique identifier, name, clock-in time, and clock-out time.

• Discord Bot: Incorporates a Discord bot that allows users to interact with it through text commands. Employees can use commands like !clock-in and !clock-out to manage their work shifts.

• Automatic Notifications: After an employee clocks in or out, the bot automatically sends a notification message to a designated Discord channel, including the employee's name, action (clock-in or clock-out), and timestamp.

• Admin Features: Provides administrative capabilities for managing employee records and attendance data. Admins can view employee attendance history, add new employees, and update existing records.

• Security and Data Integrity: Ensures data security with user authentication for admin functions and maintains data integrity through validation and error handling mechanisms.

Benefits

• Simplifies work-hour tracking for employees.
• Enhances transparency in attendance management.
• Reduces manual reporting efforts.
• Provides a user-friendly Discord interface for employees.
• Automates notifications to keep supervisors informed.
• Stores attendance records in a reliable database for reference.
• Adds up all the worked hours in the worked period

Usage

Will have commands for the user and admin end of the application. Like !clock-in, !clock-out, !clocked-out-at <time clocked out> <- this if for some reason the employee forgets to clock out from work, !hours-worked <user> <from(date)> <to(date)>, etc.
