Update Status

UiPath.Slack.Activities.Channels.UpdateStatus

Overview

The UpdateStatus activity uses the Slack users.profile.set API to update your status (Status) and emoji (Emoji). You have the option to set your status for a specific amount of time (Clear After).

How it works

The following steps and message sequence diagram is an example how the activity works from design time (i.e., the activity dependencies and input/output properties) to run time.

1. Complete the Setup steps.
2. Add the Slack Scope activity to your project.
3. Add the Update Status activity inside the Slack Scope activity.
4. Enter values for the Input properties.

5. Run the activity.

   • Your input property values are sent to the users.profile.set API.

• Status - The status message that you want to apply to your profile. Enter a String or String variable.
• ClearAfter - The date that you want your Emoji and/or Status values to be cleared from your profile. Enter a DateTime or DateTime variable. To set it to never expire, choose DateTime.MaxValue
