The push and deployment process on my team involves temporarily activating a herald rule each day for a certain duration. Right now there's no way to do that from the commandline since no herald methods are exposed to conduit AFAICT.
I don't care about defining or modifying herald rules programmatically, but being able to activate / deactivate them for now would be a big win for us.
Just to clarify, you would rather rely on an external script to activate and deactivate this rule every day instead of having a Herald condition like "Current time is between 5PM and 9AM"?
@epriestley correct.. basically we have an external system (a Jenkins-like CI tool) that we're effectively using as a workflow engine. The timing isn't strictly defined, it's basically "when the user presses the button, do all these things".
A somewhat generic way to do this is to create the notion of a variable such as is_in_deployment and allow Herald rules to check to see if this is set/true/a specific value. If the API to expose the variable is exposed to conduit then also allows for far more interesting workflows (especially when combined with relying on other Herald rules).
I don't believe there are remaining outstanding requests for this.
(A custom Herald condition could plausibly read some API-editable object like a Paste as a workaround to accomplish this.)
