Slack Status Automatization

  2. Copy both files above into your Mac's $HOME/Library/LaunchAgents
  3. Replace the hoook URL in slackstatus.sh with the hook URL you get from Zapier, and replace [OFFICE NETWORK SSID] with your office's network SSID. Also update status emojis and text as you see fit
  4. Replace [USERNAME] in local.slackstatus.plist with your user account name
  5. Run launchctl load -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/local.slackstatus.plist
