Slack Automatic Update

[S_Puschel]

Hello,
I would like to update the program Slack via Patch Management! Have you found a solution where you don't always have to pack the .DMG into .pkg packages?

I don't know if this script is what I am looking for!

If so, how did you solve the problem that the script automatically checks for updates?

Thanks for your support

You'd be better off using the App Store version via VPP.

I use patch management to create a smart group, and then i have a policy scoped to users who do not have the latest version that checks if slack is closed, and then runs the script to update slack if it is closed. It's set to run at login since slack is almost always open for users who are on their computers.
I also have a button in self service that is featured named "update slack" only scoped to users who are not on the latest version.

@AdamCraig could you share that script please?

i've actually stopped using a custom script for this and switched to just using installomator https://github.com/Installomator/Installomator
