This is a small program that helps me keep my Slack profile name in line.
My corp Slack profile is reset to my full name every time I log in, so I got into the habit of changing it to my nickname every day. Then, for fun, I started adding emoji flair on the end. Well, that didn't last long before I thought about automating the name-fixing and flair-adding.
This repo is the result.
$ go get github.com/justone/slair
Or, download from the releases page.
Set Slack token via environment variable:
$ export SLACK_TOKEN=xoxp-zzzzzzzzzz-zzzzzzzzzz-zzzzzzzzzzz-zzzzzzzzzz
Alternatively, the slack token can be passed as an argument (-t).
Change your profile name (supports utf8 emoji):
$ slair -f Jim -l Bob
$ slair -f Jim -l "Bob ☁️"
Set name only if a certain old name is found:
$ slair -f Jim -l Bob -o James
Continuously correct the name every N minutes:
$ slair -f Jim -l Bob -o James -c 15
Append some flair at the end:
$ slair -f Jim -l Bob -c 15 -p single
$ slair -f Jim -l Bob -o James -c 15 -p 3pal
Possible values for -p are:
- 'single': a single emoji picked from a list
- '3pal': three emojis in a palindrome (e.g. 💥☁️💥)
Specify a different set of emoji to pick from:
$ slair -f Jim -l Bob -c 15 -p single -e :boom:,:tada:
$ slair -f Jim -l Bob -o James -c 15 -p 3pal -e boom,tada
Emoji can be specified in first or last name too:
$ slair -f Jim -l "Bob :cloud:"
If permissions are correct, can update other users:
$ slair --lookup-user bob
User id: UZZZZZZZZ
$ slair -f Jim -l Bob -u UZZZZZZZZ
List out available emoji:
$ slair --list-emojis
