How Does Donut Work?

Donut brings people together by facilitating new connections, automating random conversation, and encouraging mutual celebration.

• What happens when I add Donut to Slack?

  Don’t worry, we take privacy very seriously. Only you will be able to see that you’ve added Donut!

  First, click on any Get Started link or Add to Slack button. This will take you to sign in through Slack—the page may ask you to select your Slack team if you belong to multiple Slack workspaces.

  The Slack sign-up process will also ask you to give Donut permission to access Slack. (Donut won’t message anyone without your permission!)

  That’s it, you’re signed up!

• Will adding Donut trigger an announcement or notifications to my company?

  No: when you add Donut to Slack, no other team members will see Donut until you create a Donut channel and invite them, or add Donut to an existing Slack channel.

  No one else will be notified and no messages will go out to others unless you choose them and give permission.

• Is Donut free to use?

  Yes: Donut offers a plan that is free, forever. This means you’ll be able to invite teammates to meetups, have watercooler chats, and celebrate birthdays and other important employee days for $0.00. No credit card required.

  If you think you’ll need more functionality than our Free plan offers, you can upgrade to one of two paid plans. The Standard and Premium plans both include a complimentary 2-week free trial to start. To learn more about the different plans’ functionality and limits, please click here.
