Availability Status

Availability Status is a feature that allows users to display their availability information beneath their name in Beekeeper chats. 

Using Zapier, Beekeeper users can zap information from cloud-based spreadsheets or HR tools straight into Beekeeper chats, helping managers stay informed and respectful of frontline workers' time outside of work. 

Setting Up Availability Status

1. Create an "Availability Status" profile field
   
   
   • Go to the Dashboard
     
     
   • Click 'Settings', then click 'Profile Fields'
     
     
     
   • Click 'Add Profile Field' and select 'Text'
     
     
     
   • Label the field 'Availability Status' and click 'Save'
     
     
     
2. Set the new Availability Status field to appear as the Display Name Extension in Beekeeper.
   
   
   • Go to the Dashboard
     
     
   • Click 'Settings' and then 'General'
     
     
     
   • Scroll down to the 'Display Name' section
     
     
   • In the 'Display Name Extension' field, add {{Availability}} after {{Position}}
     
     
     
3. Now, when a user updates the availability status in their profile, it will display next to their position. You could also Set up a Zap to automatically populate the availability status from a cloud-hosted software such as Google Sheets, BambooHR, ADP, Workday and more.
