Slackify

Update your Slack status with your currently playing song and artist from Spotify

Requirements

• A Slack token: https://get.slack.help/hc/en-us/articles/215770388-Create-and-regenerate-API-tokens
• Create an app on Spotify to get a client secret and ID: https://developer.spotify.com/my-applications/

Usage

• Clone this repo

• Create a new file in this directory and name it .env

• Add to .env file:

  SLACK_TOKEN="YOUR SLACK TOKEN"
  SPOTIFY_SECRET="YOUR SECRET"
  SPOTIFY_ID="YOUR ID"
  

• Run docker-compose up. A URL will be printed to the terminal. Visit that URL in a browser to authenticate your app to access your Spotify account.

• If everything worked the container will request your currently playing track from SPotify and set it as your status once every 60 seconds.

• Output should look like this:

  slackify_1  | Login URL: https://accounts.spotify.com/authorize?client_id=XXXX&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A8080%2Fcallback&response_type=code&scope=user-read-currently-playing+user-read-playback-state+user-modify-playback-state&state=abc123
  slackify_1  | No Trigger - The (Not So) Noble Purveyors Of The Third or Fourth Coming
  slackify_1  | Banner Pilot - Spanish Reds
  

• You can also run it with docker-compose up -d; docker-compose logs -f slackify to run as a daemon. Once you auth with the URL from the logs you can exit and the container will continue to run.

• docker-compose kill to stop it.

Known Issues

• It will crash if an ad plays.
