New Now on the Slack App Directory
Forms, surveys & approvals, right inside Slack.
Build a form in two minutes, post it to a channel or DM, and collect responses without anyone leaving Slack. Approvals, schedules, and anonymous mode all live where your team already does.
How it works
From idea to inbox in three short steps.
No web app, no copy-pasted links. Build, send, and collect responses entirely from the Formester slash command.
1
Build it with /formester new
Native Slack modal. Pick a title, drop in fields, choose approvers, decide if responses are anonymous. Ship it without leaving the conversation.
2
Send to channels or DMs
Pick a channel, a list of people, or both. Post once, post every Monday morning, post the first of the month. Slack-native scheduling.
3
Collect, review, approve
Submissions arrive as rich messages. Approvers tap a button. The thread updates with who approved what, so the audit trail writes itself.
What you get
Everything you need to run a form on Slack, and nothing you don't.
One-click approvals
Add up to 10 approvers per form. Each gets Approve / Reject buttons inline. Audit who decided what, when.
Schedules that stick
Send now, one-off, daily, weekly, or monthly. The bot posts on time, every time, even when nobody's online.
Anonymous mode
Drop submitter names for sensitive surveys like pulse checks, exit interviews, and manager feedback. One toggle, zero re-config.
Native modals
Built on Slack Block Kit. Feels like Slack because it is Slack. No embedded webviews, no broken redirects, no friction.
Channels + DMs
Send to a single channel, a list of people, or both. Pulse a team or reach one person without leaving the composer.
Results, summarised
Every form gets a live summary view on formester.com with charts, exports, and integrations. No spreadsheet wrangling.
Approvals
Up to ten approvers. One thread. Zero spreadsheets.
Submissions land in the channel with everything an approver needs to make a decision. They tap Approve, the form notifies the submitter, and the message updates in place. No second tab, no second tool.
- Approve / reject buttons rendered with Block Kit
- "Approved by @name" context line updates in real time
- Submitter gets a DM when their request is decided
- Full audit log on the Formester web dashboard
