Pattern Decisions This Source Supports

Pattern Supported decision Required contract Claim note
Presence Choose presence when the user needs a transient availability, co-attendance, last-seen, or active-viewer signal attached to a person, group, file, channel, task, or conversation. Presence badges identify the person or group, status label, recency, and source in text, not color alone. Slack Developer Docs model user presence as active or away, with automatic and manual away behavior and limits on forcing active presence.
