To begin using the Culture Amp app on Slack, Culture Amp Account Admins need to first integrate Slack with Culture Amp. Once integrated, here's how you can leverage our Slack app to view notifications and action tasks.
Features of the Slack App
The availability of the features listed below depends on the products enabled on your overall Culture Amp account. If you're unsure about what's possible with your account setup, we recommend contacting your internal Culture Amp Account Admin, typically a member of your HR team.

To get started, just head over to Shortcuts in Slack to link up your Culture Amp account. This lets you get notifications from Culture Amp.
For Performance Users:
Select Culture Amp from the list of Shortcuts.
Start typing
/cultureampto see our slash commands appear - select Give feedback or Request feedbackThen, you'll be asked to connect your Culture Amp account. Click the link to sign in.
Once you're signed in, your Culture Amp account is connected!
If you don't see the Culture Amp app in your Slack app list, ask your Slack Admin to connect Culture Amp with Slack first.
Shortcuts and Slash Commands
If your company uses Culture Amp Performance, you can give and request feedback right in Slack. Let's see how you can do this using slash commands and workspace shortcuts. Here's how:
Slash Commands
To use slash commands, type in the following commands from anywhere in Slack:
/cultureamp givefeedback to give feedback
/cultureamp requestfeedback to request feedback
Once you select the command or hit Enter/Return, a dialog box will appear:
What happens to the information you enter?
The recipient will receive a notification in Slack containing your feedback.
If your account has manager feedback sharing enabled and you choose 'Share with their manager' before sending the feedback, it will also be shared with the person's manager in Slack.
Your feedback will also be added to the recipient’s profile in Culture Amp. It will be visible to you, the recipient, and, if shared, their manager.
Shoutouts
If you want to give a shoutout but the Culture Amp app isn't in the channel, simply add it by typing "@cultureamp" and hitting Send.
You can also add the Culture Amp app to a channel by selecting Add an App from the Integrations tab in the channel's details.
To give a shoutout, include the word "shoutout" in your message, like this: “shoutout @teammate for the awesome thing they did.” Remember to mention one or more colleagues in your message! Shoutouts aren't a slash command, so no need to start your message with a "/" or the word "shoutout"."
Additionally, you can trigger a shoutout by adding a # in front of the word "shoutout," or including . or , after it.

FAQs
Is it possible to edit a previous Slack message to include the word "shoutout" and give recognition to a colleague?
Editing a previous Slack message won't retroactively trigger a shoutout. The shoutout feature typically relies on specific triggers or commands within Slack, so editing a message after the fact wouldn't activate it.
