SlackDO
SlackDO is a simple CLI tool that allows you to send TODO items and reminders to a channel on Slack or to yourself. It simplifies the process of maintaining your TODO list from the CLI without having to leave it.
Prerequisites
- Ruby
-
Slack Incoming Webhook
- Configure the webhook to your liking and either point the webhook to yourself or a separate todo channel
Installation
gem install slackdo
In order to use slackdo you still have to add the rubygem's bin location to your $PATH.
export PATH=$PATH:$(gem which slackdo | rev | cut -d'/' -f3- | rev)/bin
Usage
Slack
First thing you should do is configure your incoming webhook by doing the following:
slackdo configure slack
Next up is configuring your categories. To add or remove a category use:
slackdo category add
slackdo category remove
After that you're all set to go. Add a new TODO item by using
slackdo task
or add a reminder with
slackdo reminder
Trello
To start using the Trello integration of SlackDO, which enables you to push your TODO items to a list on Trello, use:
slackdo configure trello
Now that this has been configured SlackDO will send your items to both Slack and Trello everytime you use the command:
slackdo task
You can add your label ids to the configuration to enable SlackDO to automatically assign labels to your cards. You can add or remove a label by doing the following:
slackdo label add
slackdo label remove
SlackDO will look for labels that have the same name as the category you have selected for your new task.
So for example if you create a task with the category set to GENERAL
SlackDO will look for a label with name GENERAL
.
To disable the Trello integration again use:
slackdo disable trello
Chrome extensions
When you decide on using labels to add flair to your Trello cards I suggest taking a look at the following Chrome extensions:
Configuration
The config file is located at ~/.slackdo/config.json
if you like to change things manually.

Slackdo is still under development and might still be buggy. Feel free to contribute to the project.
