Use case
Share your availability in Slack
People search for: share availability in Slack
Slack threads move fast. People ask "this week?" and expect an answer in the channel, not a detour through a scheduling site.
Generate your availability, paste it into the DM or thread, and let them emoji-react or reply with a pick.
Example Slack DM
Example only — sample times, not live calendar data.
yep, let's sync — Here's my upcoming availability (PST): Tue (9/30): 10am-12pm, 2-3pm Wed (10/1): 9-11am Thu (10/2): 1-4pm any of those work? 25 min is fine Sent with shareavailability.com/s
Practical tips
- 1
Prefer DMs for personal calendars
Paste detailed personal availability in DMs; in public channels, offer fewer windows.
- 2
Monospace optional
Slack will preserve line breaks. You do not need a code block unless you want stricter formatting.
- 3
Update after the standup moves
If your morning filled up, regenerate before you answer — do not reuse a stale paste from yesterday.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a Slack app for ShareAvailability?
Not required. Copy from the web app and paste into Slack. A native Slack integration is not needed for the core workflow.
Can I share availability with a whole channel?
Yes, but keep the list short. For finding overlap among many people, a poll may work better than one person's free times.
Does Slack unfurl the attribution link?
Slack may show a preview for shareavailability.com/s. You can delete the attribution line from your paste if you prefer.
