📝 How to Send Pulse Surveys in Slack?

Direct Answer / Summary:

To send anonymous pulse surveys in Slack, add OpenSay from opensay.co (free tier & trial available) and sign in to the dashboard at app.opensay.co. Choose a survey template or custom question, select your target audience, and dispatch automated direct messages with real-time feedback analytics.

Pulse surveys are one-off anonymous surveys sent privately via Direct Messages to gather quick feedback from a specific audience. Feedback from these surveys is collected anonymously.

Slack admins can send pulse surveys by signing in to app.opensay.co and navigating to the Pulse Surveys section on the dashboard:

Pulse Surveys Dashboard

You can select a pre-defined template or create your own custom question and options. Then, select your audience and send the survey directly to their DMs!

When sent, the users will receive a private Direct Message from the OpenSay app in Slack that looks like this:

Once feedback is collected, you can view the results in real-time on the OpenSay dashboard and export the pulse survey data as both an Excel (.csv) file and as an Image (.png) for easy reporting.
