Google Calendar + Slack
Update Slack status during new Google Calendar events
Sometimes there's no time to let the team know you're busy during back to back calls. Zapier can help ensure your Slack status is up to date during your next meeting—or whatever event—once you set up this automation. From then on, Zapier will set your Slack status to indicate you're busy 5 minutes before the Google Calendar event starts, and clear the status once it ends, saving you from the trouble of awkwardly trying to tell the team you can't get back to them at the moment.
