Slack Snooper
Automatically sets your Slack status based on your connected WiFi.
Installation (OS X only)
-
Create a config.json that tells the script what status to set when connected to which WiFi networks (see config.json.example as an example)
-
Add a
launchd
script that will watch relevant files when your connected SSID changes and execute the script. Create an xml file at~/Library/LaunchAgents/local.slacksnooper.plist
:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Label</key>
<string>local.slackstatus</string>
<key>LowPriorityIO</key>
<true/>
<key>WorkingDirectory</key>
<string>YOUR-SLACK-SNOOPER-INSTALL-DIR</string>

<string>/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.airport.preferences.plist</string>
</array>
<key>RunAtLoad</key>
<true/>
</dict>
</plist>
Make sure you replace YOUR-SLACK-SNOOPER-INSTALL-DIR
and YOUR-SUPERSECRET-SLACK-TOKEN
appropriately.
- Next, load it using:
sudo launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/local.slacksnooper.plist
And that's it!
