with a average of 40% less text and more convenience, you can now send messages way faster and do things way faster.

This project uses AI

Used Copilot for some parts of the code. See if there is a comment line at the beginning with “copilot:” in it, then with that file Copilot helped. And i used ofc the Copilot autocompletion.

slack macros (slam)

slack macros (slam for short) helps you with things that take some time. think of:

  • translating a message
  • asking ai for an answer
  • telling users that they need patience for their orders in help channels
  • and more!

with an average of 40% less text and more convenience, you can now send messages and get things done way faster.

usage

try it out in #slack-macros with /slam or @slack macros (for threads) with one of these arguments:

  • hi - post a silly message as you
  • tl - translate your message to english and post it as you
  • ai - get an answer from ai

note: for now, you will have to delete the macro message yourself if you are in threads. this is something i could not complete in time.

roadmap & to-do

because flavortown ends in 10hrs, i could not fully finish slack macros. this is the to-do list for #beest:

  • @slack macros macro deletion (oauth)
  • send as real user (oauth)
  • support for options like -q (for quiet)
  • better website
  • easier function adding

i will make the mention @slam tomorrow! i could not find that setting :(

behind the scenes

i made this project 90% without ai, but unfortunately, i could not finish it on time, so i used ai for the last 10%

head over to slack-macros.matthiaslubbertsen.workers.dev to see all macros!

make a pr to matthiaslubbertsen/slack-macros to add your own macro (probably with a function?) using this file as a template

implemented translation functionality by fixing:

  • generate-scripts.js with { defalut as name} instead of *
  • sending messages from functions back with respondAsUser or respondUserOnly instead of just return the text lol
  • prompt writing (to be finished)
  • fixin [object Object]
  • getting macroKey and args from the slash command (copilot help)
  • fix colors on website
  • restyle website
  • pings and emojis work out of the box with translation

I found out that i cant use my slash command in threads … 😭 so now my whole idea is to the kloten, but im thinking abt using things like !slam and just subscribe to every slack channel and message and do the check if it starts with that command, then execute the macro. Otherwise i can use a @slam probably, but thats the last option.

I also drawed the logo, seen the attacements below. Im hopefully tomorrow or otherwise later this week drawing it in Illustrator
