Summary

You can use Zapier's automated workflows with Slack to keep your team up-to-date on your status, even when you're offline or in a meeting. To set your Slack status, simply open Slack, tap your profile photo, and click "Update your status." You can select from suggested updates or set your own status with an emoji that fits the situation. If you often forget to update your status, you can use Zapier to automate this process by connecting your calendar, to-do list, and other tools to Slack. With a few automated workflows, you can tap one button to update your status or let your calendar and other tools do that for you. Additionally, you can create Zaps to show whenever you're in a meeting or have an appointment, as dictated by your calendar app, and even use the Zapier Chrome extension to automatically update your status when you need to focus on a task.
