A: You would then need to purchase one of our premium plans. We can offer a significant discount if you purchase through AppSumo. The lifetime deal is only for small teams.
It cannot be used with more users. You may have non-essential individuals in your slack that you can remove.
Q: Hi,
Looks like a great idea.
To get a better idea of what this provides, and thinking of smaller teams (5-8 people), what does this offer over Slack on it's own, other than convenience? I'm asking because I'm curious at what point this is adding new features, compared to saving time setting these things up (for example, I could create a channel called Coffee Chats and Icebreakers, and add Slackbot responses). Thanks
A: Thanks for the question. There are a variety of chats, so they all work together and are configurable to your preferred schedule. If there is only one chat that you are looking for then perhaps you could build it yourself...but I'm guessing your time is worth more than $39. Setup is minimal and once you have configured it is all automated. We provide an easy-to-use framework to get it up and running quickly. 1. Icebreakers: There are prepopulated questions so little to no setup unless you want to add custom questions. 2. Coffee Chats: You just connect your calendar and it starts running. For a team of 5-8, you probably don't need coffee chats to be completely honest as you can find time on your calendar each week. 3. Shout Outs: Anytime a team member wants to set up a recommendation it can be done using the shortcut bolt. Takes a few seconds. 4. Birthdays: Team members enter it one time.
We are also building more fun and valuable chats for polls and team feedback. Because you never leave Slack it is a really smooth experience for one-time setup.
A: Yes, it definitely exists, great question. Ours is different in our strategic approach to remote team culture. We know that each company has different needs and gaps to fill when increasing remote team engagement, that is why we have built-in so much flexibility. We have multiple chats all in one place that are fully customizable. Each team uses it differently with unique chat cadences, customized questions, and customized shoutout skills. Everything lives in Slack, so you do not need to go to any other portal. We will continue to add new chats based on customer requests and will have a few more fun chats very soon.
All of your data from the chat responses are accessible per team member and downloadable for leadership to use if needed.
Q: Hey, awesome Sumo-ling community!
This is Alex with ChatFox!
Matt and I started building ChatFox a year ago because of our experiences as part of remote teams. Matt had consistent challenges around maintaining engagement for a global remote team and I had challenges around remote team isolation. It is a challenge to build meaningful relationships and great communication on a remote team.
As remote work has grown exponentially we wanted to give small teams a flexible, affordable, and effective way to build remote team engagement with automated chats.
When getting started with ChatFox our customers usually want to know 3 key things: -How to make the app work with their schedule: You can customize each chat to repeat on multiple channels on multiple days, or in only one channel once per month. You can also disable chats. It is all done in the settings. -How the app can reinforce their team's unique values: You can add/remove Icebreaker questions and add/remove your own skills and values for recommendations. -How to ensure participation from their team: Get your leadership team involved and inform your team of what we do. Make sure team members connect their calendars and add their birthday!
Q: How many chatbots can we create and what is limits of conversations?

Q: What happens if you have more than 20 members of slack?
Can this still be used?

Oh, also wanted to add that ShoutOut skills are customizable in order to reinforce your team values.
Q: doesn't this already exist?
what makes yours different?
