I'm trying to do some automation on new slack DM, (I'm using Applescript with some JS code),

I can read the numbers of unread message with this AppleScript

tell application "Safari"
    
    set unreadmessage to do JavaScript "document.getElementsByClassName('p-channel_sidebar__badge c-mention_badge c-mention_badge--black')[0].innerHTML;" in tab 2 of window 1
    
end tell

But I can't tell who that message was sent from and how to action it and reply to it

-- Slack API is not an option for me since disabled by my organisation

That looks like HTML - not AppleScript. – red_menace Dec 09 '22 at 15:19
yes I meant using JS through applescript to interfact with the HTML – Kevin Dec 10 '22 at 10:33
You might have better luck explaining _exactly_ what you are trying to do - some HTML markup that just describes a badge icon doesn’t help much. Have you looked at using the Slack (Web) API? – red_menace Dec 10 '22 at 15:54
fair enough, I just updated my post, unfortunatly Slack API is disabled by my organisation – Kevin Dec 11 '22 at 09:23

Slack > Applescript/JS on new DM?
