Streamlining Feedback Submission from Slack
Craft.io's integration with Slack offers an efficient way to submit feedback directly from your Slack workspace to Craft.io Feedback Portal, whether it's a quick message or a detailed feedback item. Here's how you can streamline the process:
1. Creating Feedback from a Message
When you come across a Slack message that contains valuable feedback, you can quickly transform it into a feedback item in Craft.io Feedback Portal. Simply click on the 3 dots menu icon of the message, and from the menu choose the option to ‘Create a feedback’.
The Craft.io application will launch a dialog, auto-propagating the message content into both the title (first 120 characters) and the description (full message content) of the feedback. You have the flexibility to edit the title and description before submitting the feedback, ensuring that it's concise and accurately captures the essence of the feedback.
2. Creating Feedback from Scratch
If you wish to create feedback from scratch, simply click '/craft' in the Slack message input field and choose the Craft.io application.
Craft.io application will open a feedback submission form where you can fill in the title and description as needed. This option is ideal when you want to provide detailed feedback or when there isn't an existing Slack message to reference.
Choosing the Desired Feedback Portal
For organizations with Slack workspaces connected to multiple Craft.io Feedback Portals, you'll have the opportunity to select the appropriate portal before submitting feedback. This feature ensures that your feedback is directed to the correct project or team, enhancing organizational efficiency.
Confirmation Message in Slack
After successfully submitting feedback, you will receive a confirmation message in Slack. This message includes vital details about the feedback submission, providing transparency and reference for both the submitter and team members. It also provides a link to the feedback item within the feedback portal, so registered portal members can further explore and manage their feedback from there.
Inclusivity for Registered and Non-Registered Users
It's important to note that the integration caters to both registered and non-registered users of the Craft.io Feedback Portal. This inclusivity ensures that anyone within your organization, regardless of their Craft.io access, can contribute to the feedback process effortlessly, fostering collaboration and open communication.
Summary
By streamlining feedback submission through Slack, Craft.io simplifies the process of capturing valuable input from team members and stakeholders, even if they aren't always within the Craft.io platform. This integration promotes efficient feedback collection and enhances the collaboration between your Slack conversations and Craft.io's robust product management tools.
