# Steps to fetch token from Slack: 
# Before you can use this, you need to add the status updater as a new slack app. To do this:
#    Go to https://api.slack.com/apps/new to create a new app
#    Choose a name for the new app: Slack status updater
#    Select your workspace from the "Development Slack Workspace" dropdown
#    This will bring you to the app configuration section, choose "OAuth and Permissions" from the sidebar on the left under the "Features" section.
#    Scroll down until you see "User token scopes" and click "Add an OAuth scope"
#    Type in users.profile:write and select it from the menu.
#    If you want to use the awayback.sh script that's also in this repository, add the users:write scope as well.
#    Scroll back to the top and click the "Install App to Workspace" button.
#    You will be brought to a screen asking you to allow the app access. Click "Allow"
#    You will be taken back to a screen containing an access token starting with xoxp-. Click the "Copy" button to copy this to the clipboard.
