Connect Slack and Windmill for conversational 1:1s and pulse surveys

What is Slack?

Slack is a team communication and collaboration platform that enables real-time messaging, file sharing, and workflow automation. It’s where modern teams coordinate work, make decisions, and stay aligned across projects and departments.

How Windmill Uses Your Slack Integration

Windmill’s AI agent, Windy, lives in your Slack workspace and uses it as the primary interface for team interactions. Windy conducts conversational check-ins for 1:1 prep, pulse surveys, blockers, and retrospectives—all through natural Slack conversations. The integration enables Windy to:

  • Conduct 1:1 prep conversations with direct reports to gather agenda topics before meetings
  • Run pulse surveys and gather feedback through conversational threads instead of formal surveys
  • Collect weekly blockers by chatting with team members about what’s slowing them down
  • Gather continuous feedback by prompting team members after collaborations
  • Deliver AI-generated summaries and insights directly to managers via Slack messages
  • Track action items from 1:1s and surface them in follow-up conversations
  • Send reminders for performance reviews, feedback requests, and check-ins

Windy accesses channels where it’s been explicitly added and can direct message registered Windmill users. Your private DMs remain private, and Windy only has access to channels where the bot has been invited.

Benefits of the Windmill Slack Integration

Meet your team where they already are. No need to log into another tool or remember another password. Windy conversations happen naturally in Slack, increasing response rates from 5-15% (typical surveys) to 65%+ (conversational check-ins).

Real-time context and faster insights. Instead of waiting weeks for survey results or manually compiling feedback, Windy delivers AI-analyzed insights within hours. Managers get clear summaries with action items, not raw data to sift through.

Reduce meeting overhead. Many status updates, check-ins, and feedback loops that would normally require meetings can happen asynchronously through Windy conversations in Slack—saving hours of calendar time each week.

Higher engagement with less effort. Conversational interfaces feel natural and require less effort than filling out forms. Team members can respond to Windy between tasks, during coffee breaks, or whenever they have a moment—leading to more thoughtful, honest responses.
