Setting your slack status using keywords in Alfred

NOTE: For this to work you need the Powerpack Licence as we are going to use the workflow feature.

How to install and use it?

1. Download the attached file and double click to install it
2. Open Alfred preferences -> Workflows -> Click on the "Slack status" workflow -> Click on the second icon in the right corner -> In the Workflow Environment Variables box enter your token (which you can find here) -> Save and close Alfred
3. Run search
4. Type in "s" keyword
5. You will see 4 default statuses (Available, Remote, Meeting, Vacationing), choose one or enter your custom status by first entering the emoji (without colons) followed by the text (separated with space) (e.g. poop What a lovely day)
6. Hit enter!
7. Navigate to your slack to check it out :)

Can I add my own status?

Of course, just right click in the workflow box and a new "Input keyword" and "Arg and Vars utility" which you will connect to the keyword and script, just inspect one of the defaults.
