# Nugget's Autoslack

This is a little service I run on my machine that updates my Slack status to

reflect whenever I am in a Highfive video call.  Published on principle, and

this should be easy enough to hack for your own use, but this really is just an

"itch scratching" tool.  I built it because I wanted it.  If it's useful for

you, even better.

PRs happily accepted.

### Configuration (Zoom)

* If you want to update your status whenever the Zoom client is running

  locally, you should trigger on the `zoom.us` process name.  If you only want

  your status updated when you are actively on a Zoom call, you should trigger

  on the `CptHost` process name.  Both process names are in the sample config

  file and you probably only want one of them.

## Installation

* `cp config.json.example config.json`

* Edit `config.json` to taste

* `make install`

* put this in your user crontab:

  ```

  @reboot $HOME/bin/autoslack_launch

  ```

The autolaunch script expects `tmux` to be installed.  That's not needed for

the service itself, but just how I chose to wrap it.
