Sending kudos in Slack with /kudos

Send a kudos#

1. In any Slack channel or direct message, type /kudos and press Enter.
2. In Who are you recognizing?, choose one or more teammates.
3. Pick a Kudos type.
4. Write your Message: what they did, and why it mattered.
5. Optional: add coins for each person, and click Add a GIF to search for one.
6. Choose Visibility: Public posts it in the kudos channel, Private sends it only to you and them.
7. Click Send kudos.

Public kudos post as a card in your kudos channel, with the people you recognized @mentioned. Private kudos arrive as a direct message to you and the people you recognized.

Shortcuts#

• Name people in the command. /kudos @alex @priya thanks for the launch opens the form with Alex and Priya already picked and your note filled in.
• App Home. Open Pulsido in Slack's sidebar and click Give kudos.

The first time#

If your Slack account isn't linked to Pulsido yet, Slack shows Connect your account instead of the form. Click it, sign in to Pulsido, and confirm. Then run /kudos again. See Connecting your Slack account.

Not in Pulsido at all yet? Click Continue with Slack at app.pulsido.com and Join your company. See Inviting your team.

If something's blocked#

The form tells you what's wrong and keeps what you wrote:

• "… isn't connected to Pulsido yet." Someone you picked hasn't linked their Slack account. They can run /kudos once to connect, or an admin can match them under Manage → Integrations.
• "There's no kudos channel yet." Send it privately, or ask an admin to add a channel.
