Slack Update 🕺💃

A tool for updating certain things in your Slack Profile:

Setup

To start using this tool you first need to create an app and connect it to your workspace

https://api.slack.com/apps
Create New App
Choose "from scratch"
Give it a name and choose the workspace
In the next window find and press "OAuth & Permissions"
Follow "Scopes" > "User Token Scopes" > press "Add OAuth Scope"
Add "users.profile:write" scope
Then, within the same page find "OAuth Tokens for Your Workspace" > "Install to Workspace" > Install
This will provide you with a Token that looks like "xoxp-...". Save it for the next step

Install the binary

cargo install slack_update

Set up your token from the previous step. It will be stored into ~/.config/slack_update/config.toml

slack_update set-token "xoxp-..."

Set emoji, text and expiration (as a unix timestamp)

slack_update status -e ":crazy:" -t gotcha! -x 1337

Set image (with cropping)

slack_update photo -w 150 ./bubble_gum.png
