Automatic status change on Slack when a meeting starts

Slack has introduced a new feature that automatically updates users' statuses based on their Google Calendar events. This means that if a user has a meeting scheduled, their Slack status will change to reflect that engagement. By automating this process, users save time and reduce distractions from the constant need to manually update their status. This automatic status adjustment also aids team members in understanding when someone is busy, which fosters better collaboration. The integration of Slack with Google Calendar highlights the ongoing development of remote work tools that enhance communication and improve organizational efficiency within teams. Consequently, users can focus more on their tasks without the ongoing concern of updating their status across different apps.
