Automatically Update Your Slack Status 🌴
Time to take a well-deserved vacation? Make sure your colleagues know that you're enjoying some downtime by changing your Slack status. With the flair Slack integration, you can now update your Slack status automatically when you are taking a planned absence.
How to Enable Automatic Status Updates in Slack:
- In the Employee Hub, click on your name in the top-right corner, and open Settings.
- Select the Notification Settings tab.
- Activate the toggle named "Automatically update Slack status during planned absences".
- Click Allow when asked to give flair permission to your Slack workspace.
- During your absence, your Slack status will be updated according to the absence category in Salesforce. For example, your status will show a sun emoji ☀️ if you are on vacation and a sick emoji 🤒 if you are on sick leave.
