Group cards,
started in Slack.
tbf work connects to Slack. You import your people from Slack, start a card there, and each colleague gets their invitation as a Slack message.
They write in a browser, and the card is sent on the day.

From a Slack message to a card.
Slack is on the Team plan and above.
- 01
Connect Slack.
An admin adds tbf work to the workspace and imports people from it.
- 02
Start a card.
Pick the person, the occasion and the date, without leaving Slack.
- 03
Everyone is asked in Slack.
Each colleague gets a message with their own link, and one reminder.
Why not a birthday bot
A birthday bot posts in a channel and the thread fills with the same two words. The person scrolls past it by lunch.
A card asks each colleague privately for something of their own, and gives the person all of it at once, to keep.
Questions
Is there a Slack app for group cards?
Yes. tbf work starts a card in Slack and sends each colleague an invitation there.
Does the card post in a public channel?
No. Invitations go to each person, and the messages go to the person the card is for.
Do colleagues need a tbf account?
No. The Slack message has a link, and they write in a browser.
Which plan includes Slack?
Team and Company. See what it costs.
Can birthdays start on their own?
Yes. Add the dates once or connect BambooHR, and a card starts before each one.
