Stay Active On Slack
Slack will automatically set your presence to 'away' after 30 minutes of inactivity - and if you're not interacting with it you will appear 'away' or 'offline'. This is annoying and will signal to others that you are not available to talk or are not at your computer.
Well no more! This Presence Scheduler is here to help you keep slack always active and online as well as monitor your presence activity. We use the Slack API to set your presence to "auto" every 15 minutes, which means that it will help you appear "active" even when your not at your computer working.
Now you can be sure that you will appear online and available to speak to others. Get ready to take back your day with this amazing life hack!
How can I appear online on slack all time?
Presence Scheduler Connects to the Slack.com API
To help keep you online and active in Slack, we use the Slack API as well as a Slack
chrome extension (optional) so that you can appear online with the green dot next to your name.
When you connect your workspace to our Presence Scheduler app (one-time click), we get an "API Key" to use on your behalf which allows us to interact with the Slack API to set your presence on slack. We use this to stop your presence from going to away while your at your computer. The thing is that although this helps keep you from going to away, you will still likely show offline unless you have a legacy api key.
Because of this, some users need to use a chrome extension as well as the Presence Scheduler app to keep their presence active. So to always stay online, you need will likely need to connect your workspace to the Presence Scheduler app and use the chrome extension as well. If you just want stop appearing away while your at your computer, you don't need the chrome extension.

How does the Slack Chrome Extension work?
Our Chrome
Extension connects to this website to access your schedules
The chrome extension works by using your own computer to open a hidden tab in slack and interact with the slack web app so that it appears that you are online.
PresenceSchduler.com will send requests to the Slack API every 5 minutes to keep you from going away - and the chrome extension will
interact with the slack web app and will keep you from going offline during the times you set in the dashboard. Its optional, but will work much better then the slack api alone.
To use the chrome extension, simply Click Here to visit the Chrome Web Store and install the Presence Scheduler Chrome Extension. Once installed, you need to add your api key and click "fetch schedules" to sync your schedules from this website. Then your all set!.
To use the chrome extension you first need to login and connect your slack workspace, please login and then visit the workspace page.

Slack Status
What is the difference between your Slack Status and Slack Presence?
Your Slack Status refers to the status you have given yourself, such as: "working remotly", "out to
lunch", or "On Holiday".
Your Slack Presence refers to if you are "active" or "away" and an active presence shows your slack
availability, and if you
are online and active in slack or not.

I really love slack presence! I decided to give it a
try because our company really values the appearance of being online but I
often don't get my best work done when I am plugged in or online. This app
helps me keep some peace of mind and get the work done in the hours and in
the way that works best for me.
