StatusNinja is a tool that automatically synchronizes your Google Calendar events with your Slack status. It reads calendar events in real-time and updates your Slack status accordingly, ensuring your availability is always accurately reflected to your team.

The product offers several key features including automatic background syncing without complex rules or scripts, working hours configuration to prevent status updates outside designated times, privacy controls for handling private events, and smart event handling that allows you to decide which event types update your status. It also includes emoji-aware status updates that mirror calendar emojis like lunch symbols, and customizable fallback emojis for different event types such as meetings, focus time, and out-of-office.

StatusNinja works by connecting to your Google Calendar and Slack workspace once, then operating automatically in the background. It reads event details in real-time to determine what status to set, but does not store full event content like titles or descriptions persistently.

The primary benefit is maintaining accurate availability status automatically, eliminating manual updates and improving team communication. Use cases include keeping colleagues informed during meetings, focus sessions, lunch breaks, and out-of-office periods.

The tool is designed for people who already time-block their calendars and want that information reflected automatically in Slack. It currently supports integration with Google Calendar (primary calendar only) and Slack workspaces.
