Work uses Slack, which is quite entrenched in the organization, so trying to move all of my contacts over to something else would be nontrivial. Colleagues use it to send moderately urgent messages every now and then, so notifications on my phone would be a nice-to-have.
I haven’t had much luck finding well-maintained open-source clients for Slack. I could sandbox Play Services alongside the official app or a browser, but I’d rather not make my phone run the whole Google Play stack just for those notifications. Did I miss any low-hanging fruit or is hosting a Matrix bridge the only alternative?
I have an old phone with microg, slack, tasker and termux running on it. When slack receives a push notification, tasker pulls it out and sends it to a script in termux that forwards it to my gotify server, which my main phone is listening for notifications on.
I’ve emailed Slack a bunch of times asking for unified push or even just an API route I can listen on, but so far I’ve had no luck.
