Kind of related, I did something similar (as in purpose) for slack [1]. It can be used to set yourself away or... well, it can respond a canned message as you.

Kind of related, I did something similar (as in purpose) for slack [1]. It can be used to set yourself away or... well, it can respond a canned message as you. It also disables the annoying auto-away after 30min. You can even close slack and let it send you system notifications for incoming mentions. Heck, you could even run it on a server and pretend to be you whilst you sip mojitos on a beach. [1]: https://github.com/eskerda/slack-keep-presence https://github.com/eskerda/slack-keep-presence
