Feature Request- automatically print completion (or any message).
Closed this issue · 3 comments
After print completion, how could I have the slack message automatically printout on paper with whatever printer is setup on slack? Slightly inspired by: (Where this printer will print out your tweets).

Thanks!

Or.. link to HP BOT and have it print automatically instead of clicking print.
Hi @diyengineer
There are two ways to approach this:
-
A slack app/bot which receives the messages sent to the channel and prints them out for you. The bidirecitional websocket approach (https://api.slack.com/rtm) - feel free to poke around the Octoslack surce for "RTM"
-
A modification to Octoslack itself to execute a shell command with the event text and that shell command could print your the text for you.
#2 is actually a roadmap item for Octoslack, or at least the functionality to call out to a shell program is.
I'm going to close it this issue for now was this isn't functionality I think should be directly added to Octoslack. If something like #2 seems interesting to you, feel free to open a new issue with that enhancement request.
