Wrapper for SlackClient

Project description

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.

Config

~/.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
