How Anonymous Authors can Display a Verified Usergroup in Slack?

Direct Answer / Summary:

To show your team role while remaining anonymous in Slack, add OpenSay at opensay.co (free tier & trial available). When composing a message via /anon, toggle your verified Slack usergroup badge (e.g. Engineering, Sales) to display department affiliation without exposing your individual identity.

Anonymous authors can choose to display a [Slack usergroup] they belong to.

It looks like this:

Anonymous Message with Anonymous Author Usergroup

Notice the someone at Engineering in the message title.

Members of Slack Usergroups will be shown a Display Usergroup section in their creation dialog of anonymous messages, replies, polls and whisper.

For example:
