This workflow allows you to set your slack status via Alfred.

It has pre-defined set of statuses, but by modifying the workflow you can add yours.

Setup

Since Slack has changed auth flow, you have to add this app to your Slack and perform an Oauth Login

Then in Alfred do the following:

• sssetup and init the Oauth operation, the slack webpage will open and you will be prompted with Oauth
• A redirect to a page will show you your token, it's xoxp-..
• Copy the token
• run sssetup but select "paste token" and add the token as parameter of that action
• a notification that token has been saved is shown.

Usage:

List of commands

• ssbrb: set status as BRB: asks for DND and to Close Slack
• ssfocus: Focus asks for DND and to Close Slack
• ssdnd: Do not Disturb asks for DND and to Close Slack
• ssmeeting: In a Meeting asks for DND and to Close Slack
• ssafk: Away From Keyboard asks to Close Slack
• sslunch: Lunch time asks to Close Slack
• ssclear: Resets the status (and reopens Slack)

Result (of lunch command):

Details

The statuses ask (via filter list) for DND: this means that the snooze is set to false aka you don't get notifications.

Some of them also asks if you want to close Slack app. If so it will be reopened as soon as the status expires.

e.g. ssbrb > yes > yes : will set the BRB, set the snooze and close the Slack app. After 10 minutes (that's the default for that status) the status and snooze will be reset. The slack App will be opened automatically.

In fact, each status has a default duration, but you can also specify your duration by inputing the number in minutes, e.g. ssbrb 15 will set BRB for 15 minutes.

NOTE: if you specify 0 it will not be reset and slack will not automatically be reopened. Slack statuses expire at 00:00.

Editing existing statuses or adding others.

All status settings are in the Arg&Vars object that follows each command, the fields are:

• default: the default minutes that applies to that status
• dnd: set --dnd if you want the dnd (usually this is asked in the second step, but you can skip that and force the dnd)
• close: set --close if you want to close the App(usually this is asked in the second step, but you can skip that and force the app to be closed)
• icons: the icon for the status
• text: the text for the status
• minutes: {query} : this is needed to pass the minutes to the script

You can modify existing or creating a new one.

You can connect directly this Args&Vars to Main Script if all the fields are set.

There's a python script that handles the update of the statuses.

Extra

There are some tasks that I personally use to change my logs in my self-logging system. You can ignore them.
