Frequently Asked Questions About Slack Status Scheduling

Can you schedule a Slack status?

Slack doesn't offer built-in status scheduling, but you can do it with a free app called Status Butler. It lets you schedule status updates, set recurring statuses, and use custom emojis — all managed directly from Slack's Home tab.

How do I schedule a Slack status update?

Install a Slack status scheduler like Status Butler, open the app's Home tab in Slack, and create a new scheduled status. Set the status text, emoji, start time, end time, and choose whether it repeats on specific days of the week.

Can I set a recurring status in Slack?
