DigiSoc Automation Suite

Automation tools designed by Andrew Xie (2021) to improve internal workflow for UNSW Digital Society (DigiSoc).

Two main tools have been written to achieve this:

• Google Forms to Discord

  • We use a modified version of my general script to add additional functionality for automating generation of registration and attendance forms (with Google Sheets for analytics)
  • Updates to the general script should be merged into the modified script to ensure latest functionalities and bug fixes
  • NOTE: Please make sure to never commit secrets such as the Drive ID for the Google Drives folder, as well as the Discord Webhook URL

• DigiBot (Discord Bot)
