Send a Question to Slack Users and Collect Responses - Workflow Template

Send a question to a number of Slack users and collect the responses in a global variable with a wait of up to 31 days to collect results.

Updated over 6 months ago

This workflow facilitates the collection of Slack responses from users by sending a question and tracking their answers or timeouts. It's designed to sequentially prompt users, wait for their responses, and loop this process daily up to a month. The final compilation of answers is reported to the initiator via Slack, providing a centralized view of users' engagement and ensuring no response is missed. This template streamlines user polling and simplifies decision-making for teams leveraging Slack for communications.
