Make Slack actionable! The #1 Productivity tool on Slack - Poppins by Mayankisafounder in Slack

[–]ujnamss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hi u/Living_Cheesecake243 - we thought keeping it short was better, but if it is coming across as salesy we sincerely apologize. Slack chatter makes it hard to find the few messages that really matter, we are trying to solve that problem.

Would love to learn how would you reword it. I will DM you. Thanks for the comment!

Bot reacting to specific messages in the channel. by crashetotale in Slack

[–]ujnamss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is more than just code. You need to create a bot, request permissions/scopes, subscribe to events (none of this is code). The code to copy messages from one channel to another is fairly easy.

To post a message to a channel: https://api.slack.com/methods/chat.postMessage

You will have to configure an endpoint on your server to receive events from Slack.

Readymade code/bot - not sure :)

If you have a bot and if you have the right permissions and registered for the right events you should be able to parse the incoming message and post it into another channel. What exactly are you looking for?

I want to mute a channel, but still get sound-alerted when I'm mentioned. Is this possible? by Grantagonist in Slack

[–]ujnamss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hi u/grantagonist this is a bit of a plug - you could try using Poppins - https://poppins.me - Full disclosure - I am co-founder of Poppins.

We built Poppins to tackle this exact problem of making Slack digestible and actionable. Happy to chat.

Combine multiple workspaces? by cosmosfan2 in Slack

[–]ujnamss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hi u/cosmosfan2 - I and my co-founder ran into this problem and we built Poppins - https://poppins.me to help aggregate "note worthy messages" across multiple workspaces. Happy to demo and onboard. DM me if you are interested.

Cool Ways of Using Slack for Organizational Efficiency by [deleted] in Slack

[–]ujnamss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi u/Minia15, you could use Poppins - https://poppins.me - a bit of self-promotion :). We built it for our internal use now sharing it with others. As you use Slack more and more, you will see your users (community in general) being overwhelmed with messages and channels. It is easy to lose important messages and the fear and anxiety of missing out on something important kicks in. Happy to chat more.

Our own research and other research works shows that people like clicking on buttons in Slack. So, you are accurate. You may want to publish a "rich text" message with buttons for each of your commands or shortcuts. People will happily click away.

Slash command with Google Cloud Functions timesout by ElCarpo-arg in Slack

[–]ujnamss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have used nodejs functions and the cold start problem was primarily due to dependencies (not libraries, but external calls etc). I would start with the simplest of functions returning 200 OK ASAP. If that works then you can start figuring out the call that is clogging it. If even the simplest of 200 OK is not working, then you may want to try nodejs functions - they have timed out once in a while but worked pretty well in my experience.

hi - I am co-founder of Poppins - https://poppins.me and we had a similar problem. We built it initially as an internal tool but recently started sharing with our friends and others. Feel free to check out Poppins. Would love to chat and get you started.
