Use Custom Status and times from Calendar sync #55

Open ByteMoT opened 9 months ago

Allow the Plugin to use the Custom status and make a meeting with a time from the calendar as the time limit

Having this directly blocking out your time will help with showing availability, having the option to still use away and DND would be good also but having it reflect in the status would be amazing

Is this something that you are planning on allowing? It will help a lot if we could set statuses of our own that indicate exactly what we are doing. The two default statuses can be a little misleading.

We had some discussions about it, the main issue is restoring custom statuses since there are people that use those extensively. We can't just "Set this custom status and then revert it back in 30m" with the API so the implementation must be done in the plugin. The main idea (for a first iteration) would be to set a [📆 in a meeting] custom status, but it needs to be properly set up, configurable by the user (maybe you just want to be DND/Away without a custom status), etc.

Having the in a meeting status would be great even if each user should add this manually. DND and away statuses do not describe that good enough imho.
