Automatic out-of-office replies for Slack DMs
Build a workflow that detects incoming Slack direct messages and checks whether the recipient's status is set to holiday/OOO and they're offline. If so, reply once per sender with a configurable out-of-office message. Avoid replying repeatedly to the same person, ignore bot messages, and resume normal behavior when the status clears. Output a log of auto-replies sent.
What this prompt builds
Auto-respond to Slack DMs with an out-of-office note whenever your status is set to holiday mode.
The problem
Slack lacks a true out-of-office auto-reply, so people message colleagues who are away and wait, unaware. Senders don't know when to expect a response.
Solution and impact
This workflow watches your Slack status and replies to incoming DMs with your out-of-office message while you're in holiday mode and offline. Senders get an immediate, polite heads-up without any manual effort.
