This app allows to set Slack status to predefined values from a command line, for multiple accounts at once:
slack-status set lunch
This will set yourself away for an hour, with an hamburger emoji and "Lunch" status text.
Note: you could be prompted to give Keychain access to Chrome storage. This is one-time only request, and it's required
because slack-status
scrapes Slack cookies from your browser, and uses that cookie to set status on your behalf.
# Add tap to your Homebrew
brew tap haimgel/tools
# Install it
brew install slack-status
# Configure (see below for details)
mkdir -p ~/Library/Application\ Support/slack-status
cp config-sample.yaml ~/Library/Application\ Support/slack-status/config.yaml
vi ~/Library/Application\ Support/slack-status/config.yaml
# List of accounts you wish to control. `slack-status` will scrape the cookie from your browser, so you don't need
# to configure anything besides the name of the team. The name of the team the part before .slack.com, e.g. if your
# Slack team is at https://team1.slack.com/, put just "team1" in this list.

- team1
