Set your Slack status and Microsoft Teams presence from your calendar
When a Google Calendar, Outlook or Zoom meeting starts, Don't Interrupt turns on Do Not Disturb and updates your Slack or Teams status, with the meeting name if you like. After work it can set you to away, so your evenings stay quiet. There's a free plan, and setup takes about five minutes.

What our customers think
"As a hybrid, dynamic organisation that crosses multiple timezones and working patterns, Slack is the glue that holds us together. That glue can get unstuck quickly when your status doesn't match what you're actually doing, though! Don't Interrupt provides a solid foundation and the quick customisation I need when things change!"
Secure Schools
"I can't think of any other piece of technology that brought me as much mental peace at work as Don't Interrupt. All my Slack notifications are silenced when I'm in a meeting and I can pay attention to what is being discussed."
