Anybody here part of a vibrant Slack community or an admin for a Slack community? I'm working on a bot that I think could be of huge value to one of these communities where lots of questions are asked and I'd like to get some feedback/validation of my ideas.
I'm a part of around 7 communities - please feel free to ask me anything!
Hi Valerie, thank you!
So we're working on a Slack bot, and I feel like communities would be a great testing ground, but I have a few questions:
Are these communities relatively active? - yep, I mostly belong to the active communtites
Do you notice that there are similar questions that pop up from different individuals in these communities? - indeed
Do you find that community managers are generally receptive to installing apps or is that a tough pitch? If so, do you have any suggestions on how best to approach admins? - I've never noticed that :/
Do most Slack communities use the free Slack plan that deletes history fairly aggressively? - I believe yes!
Very helpful, that last point particularly is valuable information for me. Appreciate your responses @valeriefenske!
