Slack Standups

Slack standups let people give their update from Slack, which suits async teams and teams spread across time zones.

Before standup

With Slack connected, each participant gets a direct message before standup. From that DM, the participant can edit planned tasks, add new ones, remove tasks that no longer apply, and submit the update without opening the dashboard.

The message is built from the same completed, planned, and blocked work as your recap, so updates stay tied to real work instead of free-form status text.

After submission

After a participant submits, the bot posts a summary to the team's Slack channel. It can also post a channel reminder when it is time to start standup, including a direct link to join.

Ask the bot

The Slack app can answer simple work questions in direct messages. Slack lists example questions and the direct message commands.
