Hello

How can we change Slack Status for absences, now it looks really scary as it is a red cross. 
Is it possible to change Slack Status image?

Hi @Ivan,

The Automated status update feature with Slack allows you to have your status automatically updated based on your absences. You can define whether the absence type (e.g. paid or sick leave) should be included in the status or not. The feature only supports daily absences, hourly absence requests are unavailable.

The following emojis will be displayed, linked to their respective status:

🌴 : Paid Vacation
🤒 : Sick leave
❌ : All other absence types, apart from remote work
🏡: Remote work (The emoji is only displayed if you tick yes for "View the reason for absence in status message" when you set up the status update functionality. If you do not enable this, the remote work absence type will not show any emoji.)

Please note that the Automated status update feature is only available if you use a paid Slack account.

For further information, please see the Help Center article:

Thank you for your query and please let me know if you have further questions. 😀

Best,

Steve
