SeekWell
I'm clearly bias, but our (https://seekwell.io/) Slack bot is pretty awesome. It lets you send alerts from your database with just a few lines of SQL (e.g. get an alert when a user upgrades or cancels). It's super flexible, any SQL you can dream up can be turned into a Slack alert in minutes.
Here's a 90 second demo which also covers our Google Sheets integrations https://www.loom.com/share/256e83c925744ad9977e109b3dfd9c6d
We use Sheets for all our reporting / dashboards. We also use SeekWell's Admin feature for some ops stuff (e.g. manually updating team members or plans). The Admin thing lets non-technical users update your database directly (e.g. point and click to change plan from basic to `premium
HeyTaco
This is one of the best ways to encourage a culture of appreciation. It's fun and easy to understand.
That looks very fun. Does your team use its rewards system, and if so, what are some fun rewards that have felt like they had a good effect on your team?
Not a heavy bot user but.. Greetbot
Living up to its name, greetbot welcomes all new members to a slack workplace with a personalized message and can handle a variety of different tasks. We use the bot to give new users an overview of the different public channels and what each of them are used for. Nothing big but a fun little add-on.
Donut
My former team at Zapier used Donut in Slack to make remote work a bit less lonely. The idea is, Donut randomly pairs up everyone in the company each week and starts a new DM conversation between you and the person it picked for you this week. That way, you could get to know other people on the team in a quick chat conversation, over a call, or perhaps schedule lunch together or something if you're in the same area. Tiny thing that helped you get to know people across the company especially in a fast-growing team.
Geekbot (Standup Bot)
I'm a pretty big fan of GeekBot (https://geekbot.com) for daily standup that way our whole team knows what everyone is working on, whether they're remote or in-office.
All answers go into a specific Slack channel so everyone can easily see.
Oh need, reminds me of Basecamp Check-ins, but in Slack. I've always wanted to use them with teams but never end up using Basecamp, so we might have to give this one a try.
Do you use it for anything other than standups (e.g. book clubs or just-for-fun conversations), or is it mainly designed around standups?
In all honesty, I only use it for work-related purposes hah. But it could be really cool to utilize in a book club!
Three major considerations I have been using to evaluate the plethora of options available: 1. Effortless/non-intrusive: It shouldn't feel like a video call 2. Price: As this app would be complime...

Hey guys, first post here. As part of my work, I have to deal with and respond to a lot of incoming messages from different chats: Linkedin/WhatsApp/Signal/IG. I try to use Unreads/Archive features...
Ohh that's very cool, especially the Google Sheets integration. What are some ways your team uses it internally, if you can share?
