You would like to share your thoughts but don’t want to step out as the troublemaker? Abot to the rescue! It provides a simple command allowing you to submit honest and anonymous feedback. Whoever receives feedback can reply to it without knowing who the author is. The author can reply back anonymously, or decide to reveal his identity. Additionally, you can create polls and let your team members vote for them anonymously. Just like in the case of all the other "anonymous" apps on Slack, Abot's anonymity guarantees are constrained by the Slack logging system. Content of the messages is never stored on Abot servers, and the metadata is regularly removed. It means that if you're on Slack Free or Pro plan, no one from your team (including admins) can track who sent which message. However, if your team is using Business+ plan or Enterprise Grid, then admins could determine the sender from the optional private messages export logs. You can start using Abot without paying for a week and see how it affects your team's communication. No credit card required or strings attached. The app is free for educational purposes.
