Talana Attendance JavaScript Action

This GitHub Action automates attendance marking on the Talana platform using JavaScript, Node.js, and Selenium. It runs on a schedule, logging in and marking attendance as "In" or "Out" based on the time, leveraging Selenium to interact with the platform. The action ensures seamless, automated attendance marking.

Requirements

To use this action, you need Google Chrome and ChromeDriver installed on the runner. You can install them using the setup-chrome GitHub Action. This action automatically provides the necessary paths to the Chrome and ChromeDriver binaries. These paths should be passed as inputs (chrome_path and chromedriver_path) to the talana-attendance-javascript-action GitHub Action.

Inputs

attendance_email

Required User email for authentication.

attendance_password

Required User password for authentication.

attendance_type

Required Attendance type: In or Out.

chrome_path

Required Path to the installed Chrome binary.

chromedriver_path
