Overview

Botimum is a powerful Slackbot designed to enhance your team's productivity with features like daily stand-ups, employee check-ins/outs, and polls. Seamlessly integrated with Slack, Botimum helps streamline your workflow without requiring you to switch between different tools.


Installation


To begin using Botimum, you need to install the Botimum Slackbot in your Slack workspace.


Install Botimum 


Depending on your workspace settings, you might need permission to install new bots. If you encounter this, please reach out to your Slack admin for assistance.


Manage workflows

For optimal performance, it’s recommended to invite the @botimum bot-user to the relevant channels (both private and public) before starting any workflow.


Botimum offers a Slack-native user interface for managing workflows, allowing you to handle everything directly within Slack. However, if you prefer, you can also manage your workflows via the Botimum web console.


Manage workflows from Slack

To access the dashboard within Slack, simply run the /botimum slash command



Botimum also provides several shortcuts to help you quickly execute common tasks:

  • /poll "question" "option 1" "option 2"... - create a poll

            Example: /poll "Which coffee do you prefer?" "Espresso" "Latte"

  • /yes_no question - Create a simple Yes/No poll

          Example: /yes_no Are you available for a meeting?

  • /checkin - Quickly check in with your team.


Manage workflows from web console

If you prefer using a web interface, visit Botimum’s web console and log in with your Slack account to manage your team’s workflows.


Visit https://app.botimum.com and login with your Slack account to manage your team's workflow.
