This script changes slack status using GAS. If you want to change it on time you decided, it can be achieved by installing this method as a trigger.

In order to use this, the required scope is users.profile:write.

function setSlackStatus(token, user, status_text, status_emoji) {
  return UrlFetchApp.fetch(
    'https://slack.com/api/users.profile.set',
    {
      method: 'post',
      payload: {
        token: token,
        user: user,
        profile: JSON.stringify({status_text: status_text, status_emoji: status_emoji})
      },
      muteHttpExceptions: true
    }
  ).getContentText();
}

function main() {
  var res = setSlackStatus(
    '### Your access token ###',
    '### User ID ###',
    'sample',
    ':coffee:'
  );
  Logger.log(res)
}
