Automatically manage your Slack status and emoji on a schedule

This template runs at the times you set and updates your Slack status text and emoji for that slot.

JavaScript picks the copy and calls Slack. Connect Slack. Put the Slack token on the Slack connection. Use it for focus blocks, lunch, or end of day without changing status by hand.

How Latenode estimates time and cost

Latenode bills workflow runtime in CPU seconds. The first 10,000 CPU seconds are free each month, then usage follows pay-as-you-go CPU-second pricing. Plug-and-Play (PnP) AI nodes are billed separately—each PnP token is $1 USD, charged pay-as-you-go at vendor cost plus a small processing fee, with no API keys required.

This template starts when Slack sends a saved-item event to a Latenode webhook. JavaScript reads the message text with the Slack API. Put the Slack token in that JavaScript node. Google Tasks creates a task with that text as the title and the permalink in the notes. Connect Google Tasks and point Slack's saved-item events at the webhook URL.
