About Presence

Presence is an interruption-reduction tool that turns approved calendar, meeting, call, focus, and manual signals into one clear availability status. IFTTT can respond to that final privacy-safe status or update Presence through user-authorized actions. Presence does not send calendar titles, attendees, callers, audio, video, email content, or precise location to IFTTT. Every connection is optional and can be revoked.
