slack-keep-presence

Marks a slack user as active when auto-away kicks in. Useful for keeping slack bots online.

Inspired by slack-keep-presence. This is basically a ruby port with only the presence functionality retained.

Installation

$ gem install slack-keep-presence

Usage

$ SLACK_TOKEN=<your_token> slack-keep-presence

Or set SLACK_TOKEN environment variable beforehand

$ slack-keep-presence

You can get a token linked to your user at https://api.slack.com/docs/oauth-test-tokens

Disabling auto-away isn't on our immediate roadmap, but it's on our "someday" list. Stay tuned! ✨
