Description

This script will check if Zoom is currently in a call, and update your Slack status accordingly.

It's using the "osascript" command so it's only working on MacOS

Tested on Catalina with bash 5.0

Setup

Copy slack-status-when-using-zoom.sh to ~/scripts and make it executable

mkdir ~/scripts
cp slack-status-when-using-zoom.sh ~/scripts
chmod +x ~/scripts/slack-status-when-using-zoom.sh

Copy slack-status-when-using-zoom.plist to ~/Library/LaunchAgents

cp slack-status-when-using-zoom.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents

Edit slack-status-when-using-zoom.plist if the script is in a different folder

Enable the script to run every minutes :

launchctl load -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/slack-status-when-using-zoom.plist
launchctl list slack-status-when-using-zoom
