Add claps to someone else's kudos with Clap this too

Click Clap this too under a public Clappy recognition in Slack to add your own claps for the same people, with a few words if you like.

SlackUpdated Oct 7, 20262 min read

When someone gives a public recognition with Clappy, the BuddiesHR kudos app for Slack, you can add your own claps to it with the Clap this too 👏 button, without writing a whole new recognition.

Step 1: Click Clap this too 👏#

In your kudos channel, click the green Clap this too 👏 button under the recognition.

Step 2: Choose the amount#

The window lists the people who'll get your claps. Enter the number of claps per person in 🔢 Amount (1 by default). The hint shows how many you have left this week.

Optionally, add a few words in ✏️ Add a few words (optional). They're posted with your claps.

Step 3: Click Give 👏#

Click Give 👏. Clappy replies in the post's thread with the total you added, for example "@you just added 2×👏 to this!" for 1 clap to each of 2 people, followed by your words if you wrote some.

Good to know#

  • The claps come from your claps for the period, multiplied by the number of recipients.
  • The company values of the original recognition are copied to your claps.
  • Added claps count in recipients' Received total and Redeemable balance, in your Given total, in the leaderboard and in level XP. They can unlock a new level, with its level-up message.
  • By default, nobody gets a direct message about added claps: the thread reply is the announcement. People can turn on Someone joins kudos you received, Someone joins kudos you gave or Kudos you join on the Notifications tab of the web dashboard.
  • Coworkers who have left, or for whom Clappy is no longer turned on, don't get your claps, and you aren't charged for them.

Troubleshooting#

When Clappy can't add your claps, a window titled "Oopsy!" says why:

  • "You cannot add claps to a recognition you received."
  • "You don't have enough claps to add to this recognition.": you need at least 1 clap for each recipient. See remaining claps.
  • "Adding claps to a recognition is switched off in this workspace.": a Clappy admin turned off Let people join a kudos in the dashboard's admin Settings tab.
  • "Everyone this recognition was for has left or is no longer part of Clappy."
  • "Free trial expired": your workspace's free trial has ended.
