Feedback Bot

Feedback Bot is an automated way of delivering and receiving one-to-one feedback over Slack.

The feedback format is encouraging and at the same time constructive (Good-Better-Best).

Usage:

• Send feedback: Generate a feedback survey and send feedback to a user in your slack.

• Receive all your feedback weekly or on request in CSV format.

• Chat with the bot and do things such as:

  • Subscribe and unsubscribe from weekly feedback notifications.

  • Query feedback feedback by one or multiple parameters.

  • Delete feedback you have received.
