In Slack, you can send kudos with Matter from five places: the Give Kudos button in your Matter Slack channel, Slack's / menu (type / in any message box and choose Give Kudos), the Give Kudos shortcut on any Slack message, the Matter Home tab, or the Matter web app. Public kudos always post in your Matter Slack channel, wherever you start them.
Who can use this: Every member on every plan. Slack only; using Microsoft Teams? See Sending kudos in Microsoft Teams.
For an overview of the whole feature, read the Kudos Guide.
Option 1: Send kudos from your Matter Slack channel
In the Matter-connected Slack channel, click the Give Kudos button, or type / in the message box and choose Give Kudos.
Note: If you start from the / menu, select the channel to send the kudos in.
Select one or more team members to recognize.
Choose the kudos Type (for example, Amazing Job or Cheers).
Add your Message. Messages can include emojis (see Adding emojis to kudos) and can be up to 600 characters.
Add coins (optional).
Select the Visibility: Public (default) or Private.
Click Send.
Option 2: Send kudos from any Slack message with the Give Kudos shortcut
You don't need to be in the Matter channel to recognize someone. Matter adds a Give Kudos shortcut to Slack.
On any Slack message, hover and click More actions (the three dots), then choose Give Kudos. You can also open Slack's shortcuts menu from the message box and search for Give Kudos.
If your workspace has more than one Matter channel, select the channel to send the kudos in.
Fill in the kudos form as in Option 1 and click Send. The kudos posts in your Matter channel, not in the conversation you started from.
Option 3: Send kudos from the Matter Home tab
In Slack, open Apps, then MatterBot.
If you have more than one channel, select the channel where you'd like to give kudos.
Click the Home tab.
In the Kudos section, click Give Kudos.
Option 4: Send kudos from the web app
Go to the web app.
Click the Give Kudos icon (clapping hands) on the Home page.
Select one or more team members to recognize.
Choose the kudos Type (for example, Amazing Job or Cheers).
Add your Message.
Select the Visibility: Public (default) or Private.
Click Send.
Sending kudos to someone who isn't in your Matter channel
You can send kudos to anyone in your Slack workspace, including people who aren't in the Matter-connected Slack channel.
If the Matter channel is public, the person receives the kudos and is added to the channel automatically.
If the Matter channel is private, add the person to the Slack channel first, then send the kudos. See Adding and removing users to Matter in Slack.
