Slackup is a simple CLI Slack client. It supports reading config from a config file, from environment variables and from parameters passed directly to the script.
Slackup will read from file if one is passed with -f
. If both "message" and file is specified, file input takes precedence. Use -f -
to read from STDIN.
pip install -U pyslackup
~/.slackup.cfg
or /etc/slackup.cfg
will be read if they exist. ~/.slackup.cfg
takes precedence if it is found.
slack_token: 'xoxp-YOUR-TOKEN-HERE' slack_channel: '#slackup' slack_username: 'slackup' slack_emoji: ':robot_face:'
Config can also be specified via environment variables. These will override config file entries if present:
SLACK_TOKEN SLACK_CHANNEL SLACK_USERNAME SLACK_EMOJI SLACK_MESSAGE
