Slack User Status Integration

Configuration
1

I’m trying to create an automation to let my family know when I’m on a call for work and not to come into the office. Basically, it would work like:

  1. Determine my “status” across my cell phone, Zoom, and Slack
  2. If any of these statuses are the equivalent of “on the phone” then turn my office entry light strip red

I have both my cell phone status and Zoom (HACS integration) working, but I cannot find an equivalent Slack status sensor for Home Assistant. Any ideas?

I have never created a custom integration like this in Home Assistant so this is a little new to me. I was hoping to use a simple Home Assistant Automation but I’m getting stumped on how to change the Webbook response to handle the “handshake” that Slack expects (basically respond with the challenge code they send to the Webhook): Using the Slack Events API | Slack

Any ideas are welcome!
