Propose, vote, and upload custom Slack emoji with Emoji Manager 🎉.
With @Emoji Manager, a Slack user proposes an emoji, the community votes on it, and approved emoji are automatically uploaded to Slack. We created @Emoji Manager to bridge a gap in the Slack emoji management process.
Natively, Slack provides 2 primary options for setting custom emoji:
- Allow anyone to upload anything as an emoji
- Only give a select group (like admins) the ability to upload an emoji
Each of these have some problems, and neither encourage a good community interaction. @Emoji Manager creates an environment with simple rules, broad engagement and is self-governing.
We wrote a blog post about the importance of custom emoji here: https://tech.target.com/blog/custom-emoji-management
