How Slackactivity Works
Slackactivity automatically manages your Slack status so you always appear active during work hours. Set it up once in 3 simple steps, then forget about manual status updates forever.
Simple 3-Step Setup
Connect Your Slack Workspace
Click "Get Started" and authorize Slackactivity using Slack's secure OAuth system. We only request the minimum permission needed to update your status - we never access your messages, files, or any other data.
Security: We only request "users.profile:write" permission. Your conversations remain completely private.
Set Your Work Schedule
Configure when you want to appear active on Slack. Set your:
- Work hours: Define your start and end times for each day
- Timezone: Automatically detected, works anywhere in the world
- Days off: Disable weekends or specific days as needed
The tool will only keep you active during these configured times, respecting your work-life balance.
Let It Run Automatically
That's it! Slackactivity now runs in the background and automatically updates your Slack status every 5 minutes during your work hours. You'll always appear active without any manual intervention.
✓ Set it and forget it! No ongoing maintenance required. You can adjust your schedule anytime in the dashboard.
Behind the Scenes
Here's what happens automatically once you've set up Slackactivity:
Every 5 Minutes
During your configured work hours, our system sends a presence update to Slack on your behalf. This prevents Slack from marking you as away after 30 minutes of inactivity.
Schedule Awareness
The tool checks your current timezone and schedule. If you're within your work hours, it updates your status. If not, it stays dormant until your next work period.
Privacy First
We only update your presence indicator (the green dot). Your custom status messages, emojis, and all other Slack data remain untouched and private.
Zero Maintenance
No manual actions needed. The automation runs reliably 24/7. You can modify your schedule anytime, and changes take effect immediately.
