With Frankli's Slack integration, you can Give Praise to team members without ever leaving Slack. And when you Give Praise in Frankli, the praise will automatically be sent to your team's preferred Slack channel for Praise.

That way, you can celebrate wins, big and small, with the whole team in Slack, and the praise will be automatically logged in Frankli, ready to be referenced during 1:1 Meetings and reviews.

Note: When setting up your company's Slack integration, your Frankli Admin will choose a channel as the destination for all of the company's Praise in Slack. Only Frankli Admins are able to do this.

How to Give Praise in Frankli through Slack

There are two commands you can use to Give Praise in Slack - the slash command and global shortcut. The slash command is the quickest way to Give Praise in Slack, as you type the Praise straight into the message box. The global shortcut takes a little bit more time, but it gives you the option of aligning your Praise with company values. Both methods allow you to Give Praise to multiple people at once. We'll show you how to do both here.

How to Give Praise in Frankli through Slack - Slash Command

1. Ensure your company's Slack Integration has been set up by your Frankli Admin, and that you have connected your personal Frankli and Slack accounts.

2. Begin your praise by typing the quick command /praise in the message box. You can Give Praise in any channel, but it will always appear publicly in one channel, the one that was selected by the Frankli Admin as the destination channel for praise when they set up the integration.

3. Select the person or people you'd like to praise by typing @ followed by their name. Their profile should then appear in a results bar.

4. Type your words of praise.

5. When you're done, select the Send Icon to send.

6. Your praise will now appear in your company's designated Slack channel for Praise, and will also be logged in Frankli.
