Dependencies

To genrate the token the workflow relise on an App that I've had to create in slack. If you already have a personal token `xoxp-..` you can use that one.

 

PS: this is my first workflow.

@stefano I'd absolutely love to use this, thanks for creating it, but am facing the same issue as described here:

Have you install this module on your mac? https://pypi.org/project/requests/ @alfredpanda

 

pip install requests

 

[stefano]

I just noticed the notifications now. sorry for lack of support.

did you solve the problem?

should I update anywhere the instrcution/package?

(This is the first time i share one workflow)

The best solution is to bundle requests with the workflow, the same way you did with Alfred-Workflow. Requiring users to use dev tools like npm or pip pretty much always causes problems.

 

Does workflow.web not work with the Slack API? It had some issues with SSL, but only on Sierra and older.

does this workflow work on alfred 5 on monterey 12.5?

i checked that i have requests installed, pasted token in sssetup, but status does not change although i am getting notification.

[alfredpanda]

I'd really love to get this working!

 

I have installed requests.

 

I get:

[14:08:18.860] ERROR: Slack Status[Run Script] /bin/bash: python: command not found

i think your issue might have it's root in the absence of python 2.7.

 

try this maybe:

Thanks, I tried that but still couldn't get it work. Going to have to give up.

I'd donate to someone that could make a new version. I would use this a lot. Thanks.

[alfredpanda]

I still feel the desire for this workflow every day 😩

@alfredpanda here you go. Please note that some status icons (e.g. :brb:) are not native to Slack and need to be installed (or edited). If others are interested I can make a more refined version where these icons are set in Workflow configuration etc.

It works!! 😍

 

Thank you so much.

 

I mean I'm biased but I would love a more comprehensive version where we could choose the emoji, messaging, default length etc.

I can see how I can already edit them though, so will experiment now.

 

Thank you so much!

[alfredpanda]

@giovanni the one thing that doesn't seem to work is the default length. E.g I cannot use "Meeting" without entering a length:

that is how it was, as Argument is required. If you want to use the default set the Argument to optional.

My apologies. I'll look in closer detail at the arguments.

 

I also need to investigate why DND seems to enable even when selecting No, and why Clear doesn't seem to work. I might be overlooking something:

 

[giovanni]

yes @alfredpanda there seem to be a few (pre-existing I think, or induced by Slack changes) bugs. What did clear do? Just reset the status, or also resume notifications? Currently it only resets status. Anyway, try this version, I also added the workflow configuration. 

[alfredpanda]

Thank you @giovanni! This is one of my most-used workflows.

 

It still functions correctly however I now get the following pop up when I set a meeting without specifically adding a duration.
