slack-o365-calendar

This little Slack Bot connects your Office 365 Calendar with your team Slack account to check if you're out of office. To set yourself 'out of office' simply place a meeting on your calendar with the subject 'OOO' or 'OOF' and this bot will let any teammates who @mention you that you're out of of office.
