What you can do with Slack + RescueTime

Update your Slack status with your current work category

RescueTime can keep your Slack status updated so your co-workers know what you’re focused on. You choose which categories you’d like to broadcast, and RescueTime will update your status when it detects that you are focused on those activities.

  • Choose the categories you’d like your teammates on Slack to see (for example, writing, email, designing…)
  • Only categories that you specify will be used to set your status
  • Set custom status messages and emojis to personalize how you feel about that activity
  • Select whether or not you want RescueTime to enable Do-Not-Disturb mode in Slack when you’re focused on those activities
  • RescueTime only updates your status during your work hours

Block notifications during your FocusTime sessions

RescueTime can make it easy to stay in the zone by setting your presence to “away” during a FocusTime session. This mutes incoming notifications until you are ready for them.
