 > I don't think we need to allow the time or message to be modified.

 Great!

 > `@here <meeting> POST_TITLE`

 Easy enough, and true, additional information can be added in context in
 the channel. The announcement will often form part of mobile
 notifications, so that's probably better to be short and clear than
 customised output.

 > I also think it's fine for the message to be set for :00 (no need for a
 20 second head start).

 Fair enough, I was thinking it's better to be a few seconds early than
 have it appear a few seconds late :)  Maybe just scheduling it to be a few
 seconds early and then `sleep()` until the correct time would remove any
 doubt.

 > I'm curious what the Link field above is used for. Could someone put a
 link to the meeting's agenda? If so, perhaps including that in the message
 could make sense. But only if there's no other purpose.

 I had to go digging, it looks like the Link is not used much, but is often
 either a) A link to the slack channel b) A link to a tag archive on the
 make site. See the above image for where that field is used in the UI.
