Public posting channel
The public posting channel is where Clappy will post all public kudos.
tip
We recommend creating a dedicated channel, such as #clappy, #kudos, or #recognition, to avoid spamming people in common channels like #general or #random.
Welcome message (recommended)
After selecting a channel, you will find the 💌 Send Welcome Message
button.

Clicking this button allows Clappy to introduce itself in the channel, eliminating the need for manual explanation:

Clappy will also send a direct message to channel members in case they missed the channel's message.
Unlink channel
warning
We strongly discourage unlinking, as it is likely to reduce employee engagement.
