Focus-Block Slack Status Sync
When a protected focus block starts it flips your Slack status to Do Not Disturb and snoozes notifications, then restores them when the block ends.
How it runs
The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

- LogicWait until block end time
- ActionClear status and lift snoozeSlack
- OutputLog the focus session to a channelSlack
What it does
Extends focus protection from your calendar into Slack. The moment a focus block begins, it sets a clear status, enables Do Not Disturb, and snoozes pings; when the block ends it returns your status and notifications to normal automatically.
When to use it
Use it when calendar blocks alone don't stop interruptions because teammates keep DMing during deep work. Pairs naturally with the invite defender so both your time and your attention are guarded.
How it works
- 1A focus block on your Google Calendar reaching its start time fires the trigger.
- 2A logic step confirms the event carries your protection marker and isn't already over.
- 3An action sets your Slack status to a focus message with an end time and turns on Do Not Disturb for the block's duration.
- 4A logic step waits until the block's scheduled end.
- 5An action clears the Slack status and lifts the notification snooze.
- 6A brief confirmation is logged to a Slack channel for your own record.
