Control Deck Plugin for Slack

This Control Deck plugin gives you two Slack features for your Stream Deck:

toggle-status - A simple button to toggle your Slack status between active and away.

user - Adds a user's avatar as a button on your Stream Deck. When they are online, the image will look normal, but when they are away their avatar will be desaturated. Pushing the button will open Slack to a DM conversation with them.

Install

npm install control-deck-slack

Configuration

Status Toggle

Use toggle-status to toggle your own status on and off.user_id should be your slack user id.

"button_0": {
	"plugin": "control-deck-slack",
	"options": {
		"type": "toggle-status",
		"user_id": "XXXXXXXXX"
	}
}

User Shortcut

Use user to setup DM shortcuts for your teammates.

"button_0": {
	"plugin": "control-deck-slack",
	"options": {
		"type": "user",
		"team_id": "TXXXXXXXX",
		"user_id": "UXXXXXXXX"
	}
}

team_id and user_id can be obtained from Slack's Web API.

Generating a Slack Access Token

Create a new Slack Legacy Token in your workspace. The plugin expects that access token to be in your ENV in SLACK_API_TOKEN.
