### Set your AFK Status

In order to set your AFK Status you ca use the Slash Command `/afk (reason)` to set it.\
The reason is completely optional. If not provided it uses "No reason provided".

After you set your AFK Status users will be notified if they ping you. The bot needs to be in their server in order to work.

### Removing AFK Status

By writing in a channel where AFK Bot has access to, it will remove your AFK Status. Ignored channels will not remove your AFK Status.

### Reactivation of the AFK Status

If you just want to reply a message to a user and then go AFK again you can use the Blurple "Reactivate" Button in order to reactivate it with the same reason.

This will only work for 20 Seconds as the message automatically deletes to avoid flooding busy chats.
{% endhint %}
