# Back-SLot

Liven up your slack channels by pretending to be the elephant emoji, Ronald McDonald or your coworker!

![Chat Image](./assets/chat.png)

## Prerequisites

- Acquire a Slack Api Token:

    - Go to your company's [Slack apps](https://api.slack.com/apps) and create a new application

    - Perform an [OAuth request](https://api.slack.com/tutorials/app-creation-and-oauth) using the client id & secret to get an api token

    - Store the api token in `config.py`, do not share it!

- Install `python` and `pip` (any version)

- Run `pip install -r ./requirements.txt`

- Contemplate that this is to be used for harmless fun and not "impersonating" your CEO in #general and promising a company wide salary raise. Unless you are the CEO, then whatever ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯

- Yes, I deliberately made this setup more awkward than it should be because of the point above

## Usage

Don't worry about your private Slack data, the script is stateless!

```

// Post using an emoji (including custom ones) as an avatar and an arbitrary name

python slack_post.py -c  -m  -e  -n 

// Post with any image as an avatar and any name

python slack_post.py -c  -m  -i  -n 

// Post as a public user from your company's Slack

python slack_post.py -c  -m  -u 

```
